So we leave this morning to go to the new place, my PCP was able to get me into another imaging place so I could avoid the hospital, which I thought was a great thing, now I wish I just would have gone to the dang hospital, they probably would have been more professional, but then again...who knows. When they called to make the appointment, I asked about bringing Kassidy because she was so excited to see the baby. They were awesome on the phone, said yes, they love to show older siblings their new sister or brother, and it would be great.
So we get there, and the lady is so nice at first, talking to Kassi, telling her she is going to show her the baby, and let her count fingers and toes, etc. Then we get into the room, and she makes some random comment about sending the results to my OLD (read = FIRED) OB. I was pretty shocked, but very firm, telling her no, he wasn't even the one who ordered the u/s, and how did they even get his name. She proceeds to tell me that the PCP that ordered it doesn't do deliveries (she doesn't, she is just shadowing care for my midwife) so I tell her that the results/report needs to either come to me so I can give them to my midwife, or to my PCP who will then give them to my midwife.
Right there it was like Dr. Jekyl / Mrs. Hyde. All of a sudden this nice, openly communicating woman turned snotty and completely reserved. She was very rough with the u/s, turned he screen so that even my daughter could not see it. I was expecting her to take the measurements and then turn it back so we could see the baby, some places do it that way, but she never did. When she was done, I asked her if we even got a picture or something, and she sighs really heavy, tells me she thinks she may have gotten one of the face, and puts 5 pics on a CD. Only one of them is decent. The rest are mediocre at best. I used togetting a profile, fingers and toes, and maybe arms and legs.
I cried the whole way home. I know the reason she was so horrible was because she didn't agree with the home birth. And to top it off, my husband was upset too, but we were both so grumpy we ended up taking it out on each other. And my car broke down on my way home. So not the greatest of all days. I think the main thing I am PO'd about is how they lied to my daughter and didn't show her anything, she was so nice to her in the beginning and then ignored her the rest of the time, I could tell Kassi had her feelings hurt.
I am now feeling so disconnected from the whole thing I am wishing I would have found out the sex of the baby. I feel like if I had, it would have been the one good things that came out of going, I feel like I completely wasted my time going this morning. We might go to one of the 3D places soon though, once babe has some more fat on her cheeks.
Anyway, here are the pics. My gorgeous skeletal baby :)
