Day 53

Wow 53 days already on bed rest! Let's just say today has been a crazy day! Started off my going to the ER, I had a lot of pressure down there and felt I needed to be checked out. Luckily my cervix is still closed, but it hurt around my cervix during the exam which concerns me. I started off by calling OB to get a same day appointment, but of course they don't do that! I was transfered to the nurse and left a message, surprisingly she called me back pretty quick but told me I had to go to the ER. Now let me explain about being pregnant going to the ER, usually you get the I am not an OB so I can't say for sure. So you can't tell me anything for sure because you are not an OB, but yet I can't get in to see an OB for days, how stupid is that? Basically though I know my cervix is still closed for the moment anyways and that is what I was concerned about. So I decided I better check on my referal to the perinatologist since I still have not heard anything! I decided to call the department that all the referals go through to check on it, I talked to 2 different people who both say they see nothing in the system for it. The one nurse in the department told me to call OB back and tell them the referal is not in the system and to put it in again. Now remember this is a referal that was supposed to be put in October 26th, 2 weeks ago, and wasn't actually put in til Monday when I called to check on it. i call OB and tell her what I told to say and she says it was put in, that the dr alreday had copies of my records and paperwork and that he was closed today that was probably why he hadn't called. Needless to say I am livid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am supposed to see this dr before anything is done to my cervix, well I have about a week left before action needs to be taken. So I don't know what to believe. I have an appointment on Tuesday so they better pray to God that I hear from that dr by then, or it will not be a pleasant appointment. They will hate me by the end of it! I won't take this laying done! ( Well actually I will since I am on bed rest but I'm not being nice anymore, they had their chance and blew it! ) Please pray that this specialist will want to be the dr to treat me during the pregnancy, I just don't trust the drs here! I get so frustrated with the drs here and how hard you have to fight to just get normal treatment. I want a dr who will tell it to me straight and calm my fears, the drs here just make my blood boil and don't take me seriously! Well that has been my day!
