That was the part I always hated about being pregnant–the constant weigh ins like I was a boxer. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, how much can she have gained this week?!

The crowd goes quiet.

I always made sure to go to the bathroom first. I wore my lightest, springiest, flimsiest dresses all for that scale.

Sigh.

My new doctor doesn’t even bother most of the time with the scale. I love her.

The last time I got pregnant, I told that cute, skinny little nurse that I didn’t want to know my weight, she could keep it to herself, thankyouverymuch! Why be depressed!?

I don’t know now, I don’t that number will help me in any way! LOL!

Is that some sort of joke?

Exactly.

Where else can a woman go and get something that resembles a shoe horn that mated with egg beaters crammed into their softest netherest regions?

And who came up with the dual setting. It’s like they put it in and set you up on “low” and then ratchet it up (like they’re changing a tire).

I can imagine the conversations.

I know we aren’t all the same, but really – WHAT EXACTLY DOES ONE NEED TO SEE if they are just…y’know, getting a “smear”.

I hurt just thinking about this.

I’d take that over eye doctor and dentist, too.

Always good to see a post from you. :)

I wonder if I could just opt out all together ?

I went to the doctor today and when the nurse told me to step on the thing, I said, “But I don’t wanna.”

She made me do it anyway.
