Nurse:
"What are you coming in for." (It was not phrased as a question.)
me:
"I found out I'm pregnant this morning. Do I have to come in or something?"
Nurse:
"What."
me:
"I found out I'm pregnant this morning. Do I have to come in or something?"
Nurse:
(slightly friendlier tone?)"You have to have your pregnancy confirmed to receive prenatal care. You can come in tomorrow."
So fine, I go in today... and they have me pee in a cup. Dudes, I did that at home. Really. The resident... not wearing a coat so maybe just a student?... was nervous and had a hard time asking questions like:
"Are you planning to continue the pregnancy?"
"Is the father involved?"
I tried not to crack up.
She left to go "figure out" my due date - spin the pregnancy wheel, I imagine - based upon first day of last period (most accurate method ever!) and comes back, sounding annoyed (or perhaps just surprised?): "You are 4 weeks and 4 days. That's the earliest I've ever seen."
The Hottest Computer Scientist in the Universe points out: The earliest she's ever seen in all 95 days of her residency?
