I just left the doctor's office. My due date is December 22nd and since I am in graduate school, I have my baby over the Christmas break and I am going back to school on January 11th.
She scolded me for returning back to school and saying that I should stay home instead of having my parents come and baby-sit. She also suggested that I hire a personal Nanny a few hours daily and she told me if I couldn't afford it maybe I should consider adoption. I am in an accelerated program and I am getting this degree to better myself for my child as well as myself that we have a stable future. I felt horrible leaving my doctor's office and feel like I am a bad mother already. I don't go to the doctors office to be judged. I really don't like my doctor anymore. Advice?

I am stunned - definitely change Dr. and complain. Nanny? Are you kidding me? Surely family is better and who has money for a nanny? It will be hard enough for you going back so early (I'm sure you wouldn't want to if you had the choice) without your Dr. making you feel bad about it. That's awful. I totally admire what you are doing and wish you the best of luck with the rest of your course and your baby!

i would have asked her if she's gonna pay for my nanny's salary! what the hell!!! u know there r some women who don't even have the support u have. what about the mothers who are forced to return to work because their leave has ended too soon. some female doctors have no heart and try to impose their beliefs on u.
i would check and see if u can change doctors. but if it's too late then wait till next appt. if she's still a bitch or brings up the topic, calmly tell her u appreciate her view but no 2 families r the same. as long as your family is willing to help out, then it's all good. keep us posted and remember u r so close to delivering so u won't have to see her face afterwards!
