Terrible doctor..wish I could sue!!!

[Ladylovenox]

Ok....so we're team yellow...35 weeks. At my appt...I had the "weird" doctor. Friends of mine have warned me about her and said take what she says w a grain of salt. So like usual as the appt begins, she asks if we know what we are having. I went thru the whole "no...we aren't finding out! We really want the surprise at birth, and that moment of "its a _____!!" As I deliver...especially since it's our first" her response to that was "thats fine, but I wouldnt but buy much pink" I said "are you telling us it's a boy when I JUST told you we disnt wanna know?!" She nonchalantly says..."no...im jus saying I wouldnt buy pink. Yellow is loveley, but no pink." This was obviously not her "letting it slip" bc we were in the middle of the convo about me not wanting to know. She could tell I was irritated..andd said im jk with you. But her demeanor was never joking. My mom thinks it's a girl now bc she said she would have to be an idiot to flat out tell you what youre having when you just said you didn't wanna know. So my mom thinks she told me the opposite to throw me off. I think shes just a terrible person and wanted to ruin my surprise but im hormonal and irrational. Lol what do you think? Like I said, there's no way it was an accident. Do you think she told me the truth, or the opposite, or what?

I think it is very difficult to see gender at 35 weeks and she was totally messing with you.

Thanks!!! Im hoping....im so angry about it!!

It sounds like she was joking but she sounds like a total idiot.

Yeh I think she was messing with you as she probably didn't even see the gender of the baby. So annoying though I think you're safe to still consider it 50/50 and get a total surprise when baby arrives xx

Not cool! I think she probably was just meaning to say that when you are surprised just be careful since it may turn out to be a boy and then if you bought both blue and pink, only the pink is wasted (for the most part lol). I think it was a silly way to give you advice that came off confusing. Doubt she would have been able to tell gender, esp so fast, at an appt when baby is so big. All good! Come back and let us know what it ends up being!

That is completely awful. Wow.

I'm sorry that she did that. I think I'd take that to mean it was a boy.

When I heard my 4th boy my doctor thought it was funny to come in and say "it's a girl" knowing that I really wanted a girl and had just heard boy (and he is a very nice doctor usually). My heart leapt to the heavens with a moment of hope thinking maybe the tech had gotten it wrong, and then crashed when I realized he was joking. So it's not beyond the realm of the possible that it was a mean joke, but I think I'd take that to mean boy. :/

Seriously, what an ass. I wish you could sue too.

Oh atomic that's just awful! And you too LL- just so unnecessary to make any kind of comment. If she felt she must comment she should have just said buy yellow and left the blue/pink well out of it.
