Unhelpful Doctor.

So all is going with our new little one on the way. All is well, or at least I am assuming it is. She kicks a lot so that is my best sign yet. I have been concerned with my weight lately. I have always gained steadily throughout my pregnancies. This one has been quite different. I lost a lot at the beginning and had a hard time putting it all back on, Once i did finally get back to my starting weight, i just stayed there. But now i have been loosing it again for a couple weeks now i keep loosing, not a lot, but some. Although this has worried me, I have been assured that it isn't too bad as long as she is still active. I have been asking my doctor about my weight since i was first in to see her. She has never said much and what she has said it had to be dragged out of her. Today i went in to see her again and she says, umm, Lets see, you really should be gaining weight by now, and especially not loosing it. she says to me As if i had been trying to loose weight (THANK YOU DR.) as if i didn't know this. Yet that is all she said. I really have to be on the ball with her, if i want to know anything I have to ask her specifically and hope she answers me.

I told her about some back problems i have been having, and about my left leg going numb and going out on me when i walk sometimes. She just looks at me, and i say well it there something i can do about that? She says it sounds like nerve problems. Yea ( i'm thinking) and....... is this normal? or maybe there is something i can do? she says try kneeling down on hands and knees. Thanks again. I guess all in all i don't find her a very helpful doctor.

I would go nuts with a DR like that! I am very happy my doctor is personable with me, maybe that's why I enjoy going to her so much.

I am sorry that your doctor isn't listening to you or giving you the time of day. That's a pain. Maybe you should do what I had to do and eat olives...they have lots of calories :)

Is it possible to find a new dr. maybe in the same clinic or something? I know it might be too late but that is so hard on a pregnant lady to not be happy with her dr. SORRY:(

Hey there. I have to agree with Steph. You are paying your doctor a lot of money and they are not helpful or seem unconcerned then I would say you need to switch. I have never had problems like that, my dr. is always helpful and concerned. A dr. should go the extra mile not act like they don't care. Your leg sounds like it might be your sciatic nerve and my sister had to deal with that. Elevate your feet and maybe you can't be super mom with this pregnancy. Pregnancy just keeps getting harder doesn't it. I hope you get it figured out and we'll keep in touch. :)
