Annoyed with OB...

Had another OB appt today...unfortunately Im still the same. Doc basically told me I have to suffer through the hip pain, which has gotten worse over the last week. I have also been having dizzy spells and have had a headache for a day and a half, and I have also lost 6 pounds since last wednesday!!! I am beginning to think the docs really just don't care or have no compassion! Wouldn't a pregnant woman losing 6 pounds in 7 days be a red flag??? She just says well I will see you in a week. WTF??? Are you serious!!! Im not too happy right now with my docs, I thought they were great in the beginning but its like when you have an issue they could care less!

Sorry just needed to vent. I mean am I overreacting about the situation?

Whenever I go to the doctor my blood pressure is fine and normal but one day I got super dizzy and nauseous that went along with hot/cold sweats. I told my doctor and she said it could be a drop in blood pressure. Her advice was to relax, lean forward (as best as you can these days), and get some sugar in your system.

Your defiantly not overreacting though. the weight loss doesn't seem normal. Its normal to drop a bit of weight right before you go into labor but nothing like what your describing. Be sure youre eating a full healthy diet, drinking a lot of water and if your really worried just go into your labor and delivery unit and they can hook you up to some monitors and check you out.

Good luck

My blood pressure is perfect and has always been. yea Im eating...I try to purposely eat more often and smaller meals so that I don't forget to eat. Like you said with all the stress I am trying to stay aware of making sure I eat and drink whether I feel like it or not. I have though been getting sick once sometimes twice a day. I just don't understand how they could not see that as a problem.

No, not over-reacting. I lost 2lbs. in 2 weeks and my midwife was concerned. Are you eating a drinking enough? Between the heat and the stress you are under, you could easily forget to eat. How is your blood pressure? High BP can cause headaches anf dizzyness.
