I’m totally with you on the nervous-humor thing. Does it count to get a wry chuckle from the Nurse-Practitioner who’s telling you that you’re about to miscarry? In that case, I get points too!

I laughed so hard at this because it’s the kind of thing I can see myself sitting in the doctors office thinking about doing but not having the guts to actually do it. Doctors leave you way too much time to sit in a waiting room and think of all the things that are wrong with you.

It must be because it’s 2 in the morning (or cuz you’re just hilarious) but I had to try so hard to not laugh out loud and wake up my hubby.

Sadly, my doctor has no sense of humor. At my last prenatal appointment at 16 weeks, my doctor asked me if I was ready for my pop quiz (which he has said EVERY TIME I’ve gone in to see him). This time I said sure, and he asked me how long a pregnancy was (in general). I said “20 weeks, right? Only 4 more?” (Not as funny as being asked to be called schmoopy or queen erin but it’s the best I could come up with.) He looked at me funny and said, “No, it’s 40 weeks.” Uh, yeah… thanks.

YOU ARE HYSTERICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to hear about your back. Lets start a blog for us hypocondriac women who seem to keep getting something wrong with them when they want to multiply and replenish some more:-) I’m in physio too.

Oh, it’s been a long time since I’ve visited but I can always count on you, “Schmoopy”, for a good cry and a good giggle. I am sorry your back is not doing better… ever try massage? It’s wonderful- but sometimes people cry because it feels so good… and we are usually nice people, those of us that do massage so you will probably cry anyway… but we always try and make people laugh by ticking their feet… no, not really, but massage could help!
How about honey bunny for the nickname line?

This might be the hardest I’ve ever laughed at a blog post. Thanks! And I’m not even in the medical profession.

I’ll be thinking of you when I fill out the paperwork at my annual next month!

It’ll be hard not to write Schmoopy on the nickname line!

i’m so sorry you’ve having back pain. i can (unfortunately) relate. and i *hate* to even offer any ideas or advice; i have chronic migraines and have heard EVERYTHING people are going to tell me before they tell me – i research it all the time. but if you’re interested in something that helped me a lot post-back injury, please feel free to email.
hope that you get to feeling better soon, schmoopy.
