I went for my first apt yesterday and came home very overwhelmed by the crap they served me about all the genetic testing and options to terminate prior to 12 weeks. About made me puke.Then they told me they needed to do a sonogram to make sure the fetus is "viable". Then went on to say I'm not as far along as expected and normally she would be alarmed and would expect a miscarriage by 12 weeks, but the heart rate was high 160, so she wasn't worried. I understand giving all the options etc. BUT? Then she went on a birth control kick, tubal verses IUD. Insurances opinion about it all etc.
This doctor has delivered four out of my five and I value her as a doctor. But due to my age, which shouldn't be anyone's freakin business what I do, I have do deal with all the liberal rehearsed talk. This BABY may be a surprise to me, but not to GOD. HE does have a plan of him OR HER. Who are we to stand in HIS way. Coming to terms with His plan for my life is hard enough, I don't want to deal with this crap from healthcare givers whom I am going to be paying for their services. Is this too much to ask? If it is, I don't want to hear what you have to say about it. For once I'm not going to appologize for my opinion.

It may be time to find a Christian provider - that will do away with a lot of that talk. It is protocol - annoying, irritating but protocol for those that live in the world. Things may get worse before they get better - but know that there are tons of us who rejoice with you over this and trust God for it all. We know better than to say such ridiculous things to you! Life - God's choice - not ours.
Love and (cyber) hugs through this frustration.
You shouldn't apologize for your opinion ever. We are all entitled to them and guess what I love your opinion. Oh the things the world doesn't know or understand. I just heard another speach about bringing hope to the US and blah blah blah. I have hope and that hope is God!! He has given you 5 blessings and a new one is on the way!! What an amazing God!!! He has plans for you and your family, as he does for each of us.
Love ya!!!
You preach it sister!
Wow - rough doctors visit.
You are absolutely right - you are paying them for their services, they should give you appropriate treatment without the crap.
Don't you HATE that our litigious society has created a need for the doctors in our lives to feed us all the lines in order to protect themselves? Christian practitioners, too! (and especially OBs) My OB is a Christian and with my last two--because I was more than 35 years old--had to give me the spiel AND I had to sign forms saying that I'd been given the spiel and that I waived my rights to testing, etc. He knew as well as I did that it wouldn't matter and that God's plan for our family was perfect. That *crap* is behind you now, so focus on your beloved coming being...and continue to rest in the confidence of knowing He is in control! Blessings to you all!
