    that's no good for you, i'm sorry you felt let down.
    on a lighter note, when i found out i was pregnant in hospital, it was very unexpected, and it was this poor young male dr's first time ever telling anyone they were expecting, i said 'oh f*ck', and vomited... poor bugger.

    I feel for you!!!!!

    When I went to the Dr to confirm if I was pregnant, he was an absolute jerk. First he asked me what made me think I was PG... I told him I did a test and it was positive so I thought i'd better come in... he then responded "well if you've done a test and it's positive then there's not much more I can tell you". I pee'd in the cup and they tested it and he says "yep your pregnant" and asked me if it was planned. I said no it was very unexpected and he had the nerve to turn around and say to me "Oh well, most first pregnancies end in miscarriage anyway" as if he was trying to make me feel better!!!!! It was a surprise but i certainly didn't "not want" the baby... then he sent me on my merry way without any advice, referrals or indication as to what I was supposed to do from there. I'm still a tad bitter about it lol.

    I had the same thing today.

    Took blood, took my height....and that's it. My appointment was 11am and I was finally seen at 12:05...

    I eventually got out of there after almost 2 hours and after beeing bluntly told that I was not being given an ultrasound until I am 18 weeks regardless of whether I want a NT test. I was bluntly told I would have to pay for it myself if I want an NT test as I'm only 31 and the risk is 1 in 700.

    Many pro's in this field have to work on their EQ

    It's normal to pay for a NT test. I paid for mine & I was 41 at the time. You don't get them free just because you are over 35.
