Don't You Just Hate It When.....

Shelle at BlokThoughts Is now officially running her "Don't you hate it when" as a contest and I didn't enter last week since I had already posted my entry the week before the contest started.

I decided to go ahead and enter the contest with the story I had used, but cleaned it up a little, not that the language was dirty, I didn't mean that! I just meant by getting rid of some of the unnecessary stuff in the original post getting right down to the story part!

Don't you hate it when... also known as "My Most Embarrassing Moment"

I can not believe I am going to tell this story, but here goes.

I was 21, expecting our first baby and had moved to a new state 3 months before my due date. I had to find a new OBGYN and picked a practice that had 4 doctors in the group and I was scheduled to see the last of the 4, having seen the other 3 in my previous appointments. I was young, nervous, embarrassed, inexperienced and VERY shy, I still am shy.

It came time for the doctor to come in and do his thing, it was going to be an internal exam this time, I can't remember the reason the trauma of my embarrassment erased those little unimportant details from my head.

In walks this gorgeous guy... I mean GQ style. He was the youngest of the doctors at this office, 2 of the others were old enough to be my grandfather and one was old enough to be at least my Dad, this guy was about 30, and OMG Handsome.

Needless to say, my stomach dropped, I felt physically sick, and started sweating immediately. What's the first thing he does? He wants to shake my hand, my cold, clammy, sweating hand. I hurriedly tried to dry off my palm on the sheet that covered me "down there"

He took my hand, in BOTH of his and HELD it WAY too long, shaking it slightly up and down, telling me his name and other small talk that was "suppose" to make me feel comfortable with him. I finally tugged my hand out of his grasp, and embarrassedly looked away.

He picked up my chart and looks a bit disapprovingly at it then me and back down at it again, he says, "I see this is only your 4th prenatal visit.

I felt like a young child being scolded for doing something I knew better for, and I was quick to say, "No, I've been seeing a doctor, I just moved here 2 months ago, I brought all my records from my other doctor, they should be in my file."

He looks in the front and sees them and smiles at me and says, "oh, I see them, I was concerned you being so "young" and all that you might not have been under the proper care." Talk about wanting to crawl under a rock, I felt as if I had done something wrong!

The examination continues, it's now time for the "unveiling" and humiliation to follow, he and the nurse get me to "assume the position" and he lifts the sheet.

I briefly look down at him to see amusement cross his face, I am confused and embarrassed and look away. He said to the nurse, well, it looks like we're having a party today. I am mortified and confused at this point, he says "You've got here" Being so young and dumb, I am completely at a loss as what to say or think, what the heck is he talking about?

I try to squeeze my knees closed to sit up enough to look over my bulging belly and look down 'there' to see. Horror of horrors, there are flecks of little tiny pieces of toilet paper 'decorating' the area. The cheap crappy toilet paper in the bathroom had broken into bits and got stuck to me, after my trip to the bathroom for the urine collection mission I had been sent on when I first arrived. I just wanted to curl up and die.


Oh and to top it off, a month later when I go into labor, guess who's on call? Yep, Doctor GQ Gorgeous himself, of all the doctors I DID NOT want to deliver my baby girl. Don't you hate it when that happens? Ugh.. But at least now this dreadful secret is out in the open, maybe I can now put it behind me!! Though I can never see confetti or cheap toilet paper with out thinking about this encounter.
