Tired of the b.s.

I called my original ob to find out if I'm still supposed to be taking the prozac they prescribed me over three months ago, even though they told me I'd only be taking it a month tops.  And they felt inclined to tell me #1 they don't know when I should stop taking it, and #2 to direct all my calls and questions to my specialist who is two fcking hours away.
So I got really mad and haven't taken my prozac since then.  It's been three weeks and I feel the same as when I was on it.  A little more quick to temper at times, but not bad.
Now my specialist wants me to find an rear nose throat doc to do a special laser treatment to my nose so I won't get a nosebleed during birth.  The whole reason I'm seeing him is because of my damned hereditary disease that causes nosebleeds, and I had a couple that scared my original ob.  I don't want the treatment.  I don't want it done!  If I wanted it done I would have got it done years ago!!!  It's not like e just found out

I need to talk to my bf first because he'll probably go ape on me for stopping my meds, and going to another doctor.  He'd probably get me put in the nut house on a 5150 hold lol (not really).  I just know everyone involved family wise will go crazy on me.  I just want to be left alone!

I can understand your trust issues and they are completely justified...definitely try to find someone new. call EVERY OB in town and ask around, call the midwives...do whatever it takes, you do NOT need this crap.

I just am so angry thinking about the whole situation.  I was bullied into an unneeded c section with my first child so I've got a lot of trust issues with doctors.

Oh honey I'm so sorry. But at 30 weeks (not much longer) you should still be able to find a new OB, or maybe a midwife - a VBAC friendly midwife. Please try...you deserve to enjoy this pregnancy and be treated with respect.

I wish I could,  but no one will touch me now that I'm 30wks and considered "high risk".  And the medicade thing is out of my hands.  I already called and asked.  
it doesn't help that everyone around me is saying "do what the doctors say, they know whats right".  it doesn't feel right.  Not at all.  It feels like they're trying to give up all my rights as a patient.  I'm not naieve, I've been a nurses aide for seven years, I know my rights.  I know the dang tricks some doctors pull.

Oh man!  Gotta love drs!!!  Can you get different drs?I have had my fair share too with drs so I know exactly what you are talking about. (Long story I was totally misdiagnosed for 6 years by several drs) I am so sorry you are dealing with this.  Go into labor at home and then head to the er of your choice when you are ready so you don't have to use that dr and use the on call.  And they can't force u to have a c-section.  That ***** about the medicade stuff.  I would be ticked off too.  Can you appeal the medicade thing?  I hope things get better.  Try not to stress, remember if ur upset ur little one senses it too.  Good luck.

Oh and to top it off my medicade is getting pulled within a month of having the baby because my boyfriend makes to much.  So whats the point of getting all this sh.t that meds medical upkeep when I can't frickin afford it afterwards anyways.  I swear to whatever being is up there that this has to be all a joke because there are women out there that deserve all this attention and medical treatment way more than I do.  Just being referred to this specialist is pissing me off.

Omg my stupid effing phone!!!!  Anyways we're known I've had this since I was 12.  I'm 26 now.  I know what I'm doing with my damn nose.
I DON'T want a c section.  But they keep pushing it because they don't want me getting a nose bleed. Omfg really?  Massive abdominal surgery (again mind you, this is my second and I'm going for vbac) because I may possibly get a nosebleed that may or may not last more than 45 mins? Omg I've had nosebleeds worse than that before.  And that is super rare.
And the last thing pissing me off is I don't want to give birth 2 hours away from home!!!! Wtf, really?  are they going to keep me from week 39 until I give birth because I'll be damned if they induce me for convenience.   And if I go into labor at home wth good are they to me two hours away???? I'm about to call them and tell them to fck off.  I'll do it on my damned own.  I can't even sleep because thinking about things **** me off so badly lately.  And to top it off I started smoking again.  14wks of not smoking down the damn drain.  Awesome.
