Argh!

Well, today certainly isn't going as planned. I woke up this morning and prepared to go to the Dr. I had an early morning appointment for a glucose test. Today is Rogers day off so I was able to leave the kids at home. Thats great considering it takes at least an hour to do the test. I expected longer because of the flakiness of my Dr's office.

After circling the parking lot I found a spot on the street a block away.

I signed in and waited a sweet forever to be called back. My nurse was apparently in a hurry. She rushed through her whopping 3 questions and quickly told me that my glucose test would be on my next visit. I politely corrected her that I was there - today - to take the glucose test.
No, you are only 25 weeks, it will be on your next visit.
No, I was 25 weeks when I was here last and I am now 28, I am scheduled for the test today.
Well, I'll have to check into that. She put the blood pressure cuff on my arm, set the machine and left the room. She came back to tell me that my ultrasound changed the due date... it's being pushed back 18 days!! (um, emphasis mine, she didn't give a flying leap that my dd was just changed by over 2 weeks)
I, as politely as possible, told her that there is no way my due date can be that far off.
She rushed me out of the room to my 2nd waiting room and told me that the Dr will talk to me about it later.
So... I waited. and I fumed. and I called Roger to let him know that I wanted to fly back to PA to have the baby.
I was called back to a room where I waited some more for the midwife to come in. I was happy to see that it was the same lady I had last time. I liked her. Surely she would listen to me and understand how completely wrong the new due date was. She explained how ultrasounds performed late in pregnancy are inaccurate. Early ultrasounds are better at confirming/predicting due dates. (14 weeks being the ideal time frame for an ultrasound) (which is odd, because I was told that the office wouldn't see you before you are 18 weeks) That said, she wouldn't change my due date. Because ultrasounds are Dr's gold. Apparently the fact that I not only know when I got my period, but I also know when I ovulated (sorry if that is TMI) doesn't mean anything. The fact that changing my due date by over 2 weeks means that I wouldn't have had a positive pregnancy test when I did, the fact that my 1 appt in PA I was able to hear a heartbeat and the Dr was able to feel my uterus and confirm that I was between 11 & 12 weeks (that was right on) ... it all means nothing. Because the ultrasound, which is inaccurate in late pregnancy says I am 2+ weeks behind.

Can you sense my bitterness? My annoyance at this Dr's office? I am so frustrated I don't even know what to do next. They scheduled my glucose test for mid July. Rogers insurance plan with his new job kicks in on July 1st. I'm thinking I'll be added to the plan and I'll find a new Dr. I have one that I would like to look into. But to be honest, the idea of homebirth is sounding more and more appealing.

So, thats been my morning so far. Oh, the excitement.
