Venting Time: Doctors can be idiots!

I am now 12 weeks pregnant and feeling the need to vent. I know that many women get deathly sick during their pregnancy and luckily I am just sick. However I am having a very difficult time dealing with back pain. After I had Adalynn I experienced severe back pain and was told that because my stomach muscles had been stretched out it was causing my pelvis to tilt and rotate which in turn was affecting my nerves and sending all of the surrounding muscles from my back to my leg to spasm. Since I have become pregnant the pain has gotten a lot worse to the point that I feel I cannot take care of my child or the house (which is a mess). I went to the doctor yesterday and we heard the heartbeat for the first time which was wonderful! I also told the doctor the problems I am having and how I have a 15 month old that I can hardly take care of. He responded by saying curtly, " 15 month olds can walk you know" I responded with "thats the problem" He then went on a huge spill how I need to let Adalynn do everything for herself. When I take her to the store let her get out of her carseat and hold my hand as we walk into the store. Yeah like that is going to work! Even I have a hard time getting her out of the carseat! And you think my crazy busy Adalynn is going to want to hold my hand and obediently walk with me? And when I say its time to eat will she go make herself dinner and put herself in her highchair? and then clean everything up that has been thrown on the floor and wash all the food out of her hair? I don't think so, so lets try to be a little realistic. Well I am feeling a little better now in time to change a poopy diaper. Oh wait! "Adalynn go change your own diaper, doctors orders!"
