My entire visit was not good, starting with the nurse that roomed me. I had been previously instructed to fill out my birth preferences sheet and bring any questions I had to my next appointment. I have never given birth before and my pregnancy is considered high risk so I had several. The nurse saw my list of questions and proceeded to ask me if I had written and essay and then later asked me why I don’t just ask my mom my questions since she has given birth before. First of all my mom hasn’t given birth in over 25 years, has never had a high risk pregnancy, has never given birth at this hospital, nor is she familiar with the current standard of care. Secondly what a weird question to ask considering this nurse didn’t know me at all and had never met me before. My mom and I could not have a relationship or she could be dead for all she knew. Incredibly dismissive and made me feel embarrassed off rip to even have the questions with me. Then on to my actual appointment with Dr. Itauma. I had a growth scan for my baby and it was painfully clear that Dr. Itauma didn’t review my chart before coming in. I did ask my questions but they were all half answered and incredibly rushed. Dr. Itauma very clearly did not agree with a preference I had for delivery which made the rest of the appointment rather tense. The ultrasound was very rushed and I’m not at all convinced any of the measurements are correct because every image was incredibly blurry and you could not see where anything began or ended. She then “attempted” to get some pictures of the baby for us to take home, by attempted I mean took one angle of his face straight on said “I was hoping to get a cute profile but oh well” and didn’t move the wand to even try to actually let us see our baby. I had had blood work done and she did not bring it up or look at it at all. I had to ask her at the end of the appointment if there was anything on it that was concerning as I had seen some flags on my My Chart report. She was like oh let me look. Hadn’t even crossed her mind to check my chart the entire appointment and that also gives me the suspicion she didn’t look at it before my appointment either. My husband and I left incredibly frustrated with the entirety of the appointment and honestly I hope to God Dr. Itauma is not the provided on duty when I deliver my baby. I would be perfectly happy with not seeing her or that nurse ever again.
