So last night about 9 pm I started geeting some sharp pains. I tried to continue my night and work through them but they just kept getting stronger. I felt like something was wrong, although Im pregnant I cant deliver a baby at this stage soI was thinking the worst. My husband made me put everything away and take a hot bath but it wasnt working so we hopped in the car and flew to the hospital. When we got there fortunately there was only about four people ahead of me. I registered at the desk which took over an hour! They asked what my issue was and asked if I was pregnant. I told them I was in fact pregnant and then they asked did you have issues with the first pregnancy? I advised that I didn’t and they told me to have a seat. I sat and waited for over two hours to see a doctor in excrutiating pain. I had never felt like this before and was scared to death of the outcome. My husband was mad and constantly asking how long, all they would say was not much longer and they went back to talking about what they were doing for the holidays. Really so I could possibly have a really bad thing happening to my child and we are talking about the holiday weekend? They finally call me to the back were I sit for another hour before I ever get to see the doctor. Then the doctor comes in and he is absolutley hateful and talking to my husband and not me. The doctor walks out and orders the nurse to do a sonogram and to check the fetal heartbeat. Ok really so if my baby is in distress then it has been that way now for three hours. Im very upset and my blood pressure is elevated at some very high levels. They hook the machines up to me to listen to the baby and I hear the best sound all night. The rapid heartbeat of my child makes me feel so much better that all i can do is cry. When they start looking into the sonogram we notice that the baby is fine but i hhave a tear in the placenta. I ask what can be done for that and the doctor of the emergency room tells me they can do nothing that I have to speak to my doctor as soon as possible. Lucky for me I have an appointment this morning and we can find out what is really going on. I get ready to leave and the nurse apologizes for the long wait. I was so infuriated by the wait and the bedside manner of the doctor that I blatently told the nurse what I thought of the  facility. I would advise anyone that has to go to the hospital late night to be prepared for long waits and rude doctors.
