Today was a very hard day for me. I went to the doctors to see if i can get an ultrasound to hear my baby. Well when i went to the clinic they told me to go to a hospital and see if there is really a baby in my tummy. I went to a hospital which they told me to go to the Emergency Room first. We went to the desk and they told me that i needed to go to radiology. I went there and they said we cannot accept you for you dont have a doctors order. They sent me back to the ER and we waited in the waiting room. The nurse called me and asked me personal questions and to see how far along i am. She said that i was 21 weeks meaning 4 months. I thought i was 5 i mean im so fat. Anyways she said that she couldnt get me the ultrasound and that i needed to go to the Labor and Delivery room and get one there. As i went up the elevator i began to get very frustrated from everything. As i got to the room they told me that they couldnt help me and i had to get myself and my spouse to the maternity ward to get one. Luckly a nurse escorted me to it. When i turned to the right i saw the newborns and i got all excited. As we waited at the office and the lady was asking me questions she began to call people and stuff and it just made me very upset. Then it hit me I began to cry i was so aggrevated and so stressed out i mean how hard is it to go get a freaken ultrasound just to hear your baby? My spouse held me and told me that it was ok and that he would take care of it all. Then the lady told me that a doctor approved an ultrasound for me and i said to myself, FINALLY!!!. But... We had to go to the lobby to get me registered for it we went to the lobby and they told me to go back to radiology. We went and i got so mad i cried again. THen My spouse set it all up for me and said we are geting an ultrasound all we have to do now is wait. We wait ten minutes.
As we finished waiting they called us in. We didnt go to a room at all we went to another office. She told me i had to pay $750 for an ultrasound. $750!!!!! I cried and cried. I gave up i ran out the room and my spouse held me and said im sorry i tried dont be upset. I powered walked all the way to a womans restroom and stayed there for 15 min crying my head off. THen the nurse from the waiting room told me i cant give ya an ultrasound but i can let you hear your babys heartbeat. We went back to ER and she placed me on top of the table and placed gel on my tummy i mean thats all i wanted was to hear if there is a child inside me. As she turned it on and placed it right in the middle i heard it i heard the fast little heart beat that was my baby. SHe moved it around to show me the difference between my baby and me i heard another heart beat and i thought OMFG i better not be having twins. SHe told me that was my heartbeart. I went pheww. Then she tried to let me hear the baby again but the baby disappered i mean it was right in the middle of and it disappeared. The baby went all the way to my left side and was hidding and moving around trying not to be located and i said to my spouse we have a silly bunny. That sound was worth the fustration....
