I am kind of frustrated, again, with my doctor. While swimming today I started geting cramps that were quite painful. I called my doctor on his cell, since it was the office's lunch, and he never called back. So, an hour later I called the office and told them what was going on. I figured that since the doctor was in the office today they could have me come in just to check and make sure that everything was okay. But, no. They told me to go to L/D. I decided not to go, because the cramps didnt feel like they were excruciating, they were just a little un-nerving. Going to L/D would have cost a lot of money for them to tell me that everything is fine, which I am sure it is. I think that I am dehydrated, I have been guzzling water and it is starting to get better. I just wish that with all the money I am paying the doctor they would have seen me, it would have only taken a minute. If I were further along, then okay, off to L/D I would go, but at this point I know that all they would do is listen for the h/b and check if I was having contractions, then send me home, why couldnt the doctor do that, and it wouldnt cost me an arm and a leg.
I know having a baby costs money, and I am okay with that. When it comes time for delivery and all that, I am okay with those costs. I just cant justify spending the money at the hospital when a simpler fix is probably the anwer.
Anyway, I have been laying down the last few hours and drinking as many fluids as I can (still nauseous), and it seems to be getting better, and the baby's heartrate is good right now.
Off course if it were to get worse I would go to the hospital right away.
Do you think I made the right decision for the moment?
