Angery,upset,hurt I hate this hospital!

Ive been in and out of the hospital for 2weeks due to my fluid being low (5.2) well my doc. Has not spoken to me not once since ive been comin she jus sends a nurse to do everything!! So I was angry yesterday necause I came in at 9am and they did all my test and refused to give me water or food it was already 6pm I was starving ... So I demanded to talk to my doctor and was told she could not see me till 8pm so I waited and she finaly came at 845 and I asked her why I had to keep coming in and out of the er and she said "because you dnt drink enoigh water" I than told her I drink water all the time its all I ever drink because im diabetic and she started to get sassy with me saying "well if u did u wouldnt be here" so I than asked what is the harm that it can cause to my baby boy and she said he will be in distress cause he wnt mmove as well as he should !! I was really mad  by than because I am 37 weeks which is
considered  considered full term

Well I'm now expecting my 4th child but I had low amniotic fluid with my 1st baby who is now 9 yrs old.  I'm also diabetic & I was also admitted into the hospital for a w/end.  This was when I was about 32 wks ir so, while in the hospital I was placed in a Jacuzzi 2ce & my fluid levels went up. So I was discharged.  My doc told me that swimming really helps jeep the fluids up, so I def recommend swimming!  I do remember my doctor also trelling me that I'd necessary she would induce me at 36 wks. Which is fill term.  Luckily that didn't happen cuz swimming & the Jacuzzi really helped.  But make sure the water isn't hot if you decide for  the Jacuzzi.

Are you having swelling? If you had to be stuck so many times for an iv maybe you are dehydrated. That doesn't mean you're not drinking water, but sometimes the water will seep out into your tissues (which is why I ask about the swelling). If you can, id switch doctors, I don't care if I was 37 weeks or not, I can not tolerate rude obnoxious behavior. She sounds like she needs a class on manners and proper bedside manor.

37 weeks is DEFINITELY appropriate, especially with low fluids to have the baby now!

The rudness I can handle but what s getting to me is dont tell me my baby is in distress but than tell me basically your not going to do anything about it exept wait it out im considered full term and im suppose to have a csection either way so I dont see why she is keeping my baby in if its harmful to him.. More harmful than letting him out a couple weeks early :(

I had about 10 ultrasounds total throughout my pregnancy, if they feel the benefits outweigh the risks, then they'll do it. If your fluid is low that is definitely cause for many ultrasounds, you don't want to run completely out of fluid, because that is verry dangerous for baby, but in this case, I would definitely be questioning everything she does, and says because she obviously is in the wrong field of work if shes that rude!!

Id talk to someone above her as well that's not ok at all. I gave birth to an extremely healthy baby boy at 37 weeks so she is a quack!

I would definitely speak to someone above her, that is unprofessional and RUDE, you need to feel comfortable with the person taking care of your child. If you can't find someone above her, speak to her, tell her you are being rude, and you need to stop, NOW! I'm so sorry you have to go through that hun! :(

So I asked my doc. If its causing my baby disttess why not get him out and she kept rolling jer eyes and goes "you seem to kno everything,so you would kno full term is anything after 40 weeks not 37 ur baby will not be able to breath" and so I jus left it alone but she was still giving me so much additude and was really rough doing my iv :( I feel like sh!t I jus want my baby out and healthy but my doc. Is a rude quack!!
