Yesterday was a terrible day, I won't go in to it all but there were lots and lots of tears and very little sleep. It may be the lack of sleep that is making me laugh so hard about this latest turn of events.
This doctor comes in as i am lying there half naked and presses on my bladder for a while and makes some notes on the computer than starts saying that the amnio and blood work all look ok but the baby's size is still not right. I stopped him and said if we are going to talk about this I would like to get dressed! I shouldn't find out what's going on when i am lying half naked and can't even make eye contact with him. He got a little flustered and offered to meet in his office.
We go to his office and he tells us the heart looks good, all the tests came back fine, etc. and the head is a normal size but the bones are really small and he thinks the baby may be a dwarf and he offers us an abortion. I was in shock. Then he said that he would like us to see a genetic specialist b/c there are more tests to do to determine if it is a dwarf but that he can't order them only a genetics specialist could. We asked why we would get an abortion and without looking up or acknowledging that i am in the lowest height percentile in the country he says some people don't want short children.
I am too delirius and sleep deprived to process any of this right now!
