Words of Encouragement from Dr. (Not)

[Franna75]

I went to the docs for my eight week check. She's always been a bit of a cow and I do dread going to see her. I told her that my back was hurting and that my feet were numb and that i wasn't sure if it had something to do with the epidural.

She looked at me and snarled - well maybe when you've shifted some of the baby weight it'll go back to normal.

I replied, i've "shifted" three stone already and only have 3lbs to go back to my prebirth weight

I'm obviously still in her eyes.

As for the doctor I would change. It took me awhile but settled on a nice women who seems to understand me better x
