Waiting..... Waiting.....

So I decided to go back to Emergency last night to see what the f is going on with this spotting business.
I got to the hospital at 5.30, saw a triage nurse right away, then got to see a doctor 3 hours later, at 8.30. 3 hours. Categorically the longest I’ve had to wait for anything. Except a husband.
I don’t necessarily mind waiting for 3 hours, as there were a few women who stumbled in after me, clearly in pressing need of a doctor, but I was the only one waiting for 3 hours and no-one bothered to give me an update.
I was also starving as hell and all I had to watch on the big waiting room TV screen was Neighbours and The Simpsons. Torture me, why don’t you…
After all the waiting, I saw a doctor who examined me, gave me a 2D ultrasound to make sure MiniMc was still alive and kicking (affirmative, captain) and said I had to come back tomorrow (ahem, which is today) for an ultrasound and some more tests. Blimey.
Permanent Link | - ohh Y2, this brings back memories. I’ve been up since 3am which hasn’t happened since I was pregnant. I remember stress pukes from a few minor complications, and going into hospital to be put on the heart monitor.
This stressfull stuff before they arrive, makes the night waking for feeds a breeze.
I hope baby Y2k and its little in utero home settles down, and the rest is easy peasy! We are thinking of you!
