Long story, but i've had a very horrible day.

Got my referal for my 12 week scan. The dr who wrote it was not my normal dr, and he seemed totallllly clueless!!!

Can i just compare my 12 week u/s referal to yours? and also my 11 week blood test referal with yours??


my 11 week bloods say, "E/LFTs; Se B-HCG; FBE" - thats it there is nothing else but my personal details on this form.

My 12 week u/s referal says, "12 weeksUS gestation - Obstetric" - thats it, nothing else but personal info.

If you'd like to know the full story of what happened here it is, otherwise reading the top part is fine. Please ladies?? help me?




I've had a horrible day!!!

10 weeks today.. so pumped, was going to go shopping to look at some baby stuff (i've been feeling really good about this pregnancy and figure 10 weeks is a good mark). Woke up this morning did a wee, wiped and there was brown blood!!! I got soo freaked out. Wasn't much, and it was mixed with CM...

I already had a dr appointment for 11, (to get my referals for my 12 weeks scan). Went to the dr, while mum looked after DD. My normal GP was away so i was put in with this tosser dr.. total tosser!!!!!!

I said to him. Im 10 weeks pregnant today, i made this appointment to get a referal for my 11 week bloods and 12 week u/s. This morning i did a wee and there was brown blood. So could you please get the doppler and see if you can find a heartbeat, i know its early but i figure its worth a shot..

He then continued to write me out a referal ( not before putting one of each form infront of him, and then asking me which form he needs to use for an ultrasound... WTF!?!?! ) for a 10 week ultrasound, handed it over and said, ok, have a nice day (he had a very thick accent and i don't think he had any idea what i was talking about).

So i started getting ****ed off... i said ' no.. i want a referal for an u/s for my 12 week scan.. Today i want you to use the doppler to see if you can find a heartbeat (followed by my hand gestures to try and give him an idea).

He looked at me blankly. I repeated it again.. with my hand gestures..

He finally got the drift and went and got the doppler. He couldn't find a heart beat (but mind you he had to call the nurse in for a lesson on how to use a doppler prior to actually using it).

He then said he will send me for the 10 week u/s anyway, just to see if the baby is ok.

He then asked me what the 12 week scan was for... honestly who is the dr here?! I told him it is called a nuchal translucency (sp) test, to see if the bub has d/s. " oh.. ok then". He printed out the referal, but just wrote '12 week obstetric'. .... ... !!!!!

He then asked me why i wanted to have a blood test..... !!!!!!!!!!!

I said... because you need to have the blood test for the 12 week scan to work.

this is what he then did.
He put all the forms infront of him again. Asked me AGAIN which form he should use for blood tests (!!!!), i told him. He then opened up the program on his computer and i WATCHED him randomly tick boxes for tests while saying "ok, i might send you for a white blood cell count.. also a such and such.. and i guess a such a such.."

I butted in - is this even the blood tests that need to be tested or are you just randomly selecting things?! "

him - "oh no - yes these are the tests needed"

i then shut up,
walked out
paid 70 dollars
got in the car
and cried.


I am soooooo angry~!!!! WHAT A SH*T DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!

So now i don't even know what to do..
what would you do??
i can't stop crying.. not because im sad over the bleeding.. i think its just that i so angry that he was sooo crap!

thank you for listening to my horrible day
