Oooookay?

My family doctor is a total weirdo. This is how my visit went:

Dr.: So, what can we do for you?
Me: It appears that I am pregnant!
Dr.: *chuckles* Well that’s good news! Congratulations! That’s very exciting. Did you take a test?
Me: Yes, I took two and they were both positive.
Dr.: Okay, well those store-bought tests are just as accurate as the tests we would give. You’ve probably already gone online to calculate your due date, right?
Me: Yes.
Dr.: When is it?
Me: October 7
Dr.: *writes October 7th in my file* Are you still smoking?
Me: Nope! I quit on December 1.
Dr.: Okay, well I’ll write you a referral to an OB/GYN. Do you have any preferences?
Me: Well, I am not from the area so I don’t really know of anyone.
Dr.: I’ll send you to Dr. So and So. She’s really nice. Okay, we’re all set!
Me: o.O
Dr: Oh, I do need to take your blood pressure.
Me: You may get a high reading because I was anticipating blood work! *chuckle*
Dr.: Oh no, every office is different. Are you having other symptoms? Sore breasts? Tiredness? More frequent urination?
Me: Yes.
Dr.: Certainly sounds like you’re pregnant! So don’t change anything. Live your life like normal.
Me: Okay . . . Thanks.
Dr.: Just give this referral to the girls out front. You’re all set!

So I went to the front and gave the receptionist my referral sheet, and she said, “Oh, you’re pregnant? Okay, you’re going to need blood work. The lab is still open if you want to do it now!” Sweet Jesus, WTF? So I signed in at the blood lab and since no one mentioned a pee test, I went to the bathroom. I had to pee SO BAD but I saved it because I figured I would need a pee test, and when no one mentioned it to me I said “Screw it!” and peed. So the phlebotomist was frigging awesome and she found my vein on the first try, so I had no dizziness. Then she told me she needed a urine sample and I was like, “Are you serious?? Ugh, I just went!” So I gave her a couple of drops and that was it. Lol.

So yeah, that doctor appointment was NOT what I was expecting at all. I was expecting a blood and urine test, because duh, and I was expecting my doctor to tell ME when my estimated due date was, not the other way around. I left the office totally baffled. So now I just have to wait for them to call me to tell me when my OB appointment will be.
