My encounter with Satan this morning

So I just had THE worst doctor's appointment in the history of doctor's appointments.  We go in early this morning to for the big u/s and the doctor doing the u/s happens to be a Satan reincarnate.  Lucky us!  She was incredibly rude, didn't say hi, no chit chat whatsoever (which, fine I can deal with that).  But when we ask her when she's done taking all the measurements what the sex of the baby is, she tells us that it's too early to tell, sorry but I'll have to come back in a couple weeks.  SHE DIDN'T EVEN TRY!  She went nowhere near the 'goods', no attempt even made.  She also didn't answer me when I asked if everything was looking ok when she was measuring.  She did tell me that I'm measuring at 19W4D so I must have gotten my dates wrong.  Um even though my cycle had AWAYS been 25 days and the last 2 u/s had me measuring EXACTLY to the day we thought.  No mention of maybe it's because D's so tall (he was standing right there) or any other explanation but nope, I must be wrong of my dates.  Then she prints off one picture, which isn't even a good pic btw (hard to see anything), and says that's it.  
We left the office and I started bawling.  We had been looking forward to finding out the sex this morning for so long and now with both families coming in for a big gender reveal at supper tomorrow, this is brutal.  The doctor was just a bitch, plain and simple, and I'm definitely going to be bringing it up at my next OB appt.  I'm just glad she's not my OB.  
I feel silly for being so upset, it's just we had all these plans and she was just so mean, so cold about it.  She didn't even try.  That's the part that gets me.  And if she says I'm measuring ahead at 19W4D then she should definitely be able to tell the sex.  All my pregnancy books say that you can tell at 18W with some even as early as 16W!  The bitchy doctor said that my doc will schedule another appt at 22W to tell the sex which I know is BS because at my last appt my doc said that they would be able to tell the sex at this appt (as long as the baby was cooperating) and unless there was anything wrong, this would probably be my last u/s.  I think she was just lazy and didn't even want to try.  Or her sole purpose is to prey on hormonal pregnant women and gets off on making us cry.  Either way, she deserved a throat punch or two.  
After several calls to the 3D u/s place to try to squeeze us in today (they weren't open that early) the lady from there called back and after a long explanation between sobs, she was able to squeeze us in today at 1:45.  
The appointment this morning will go down as the worst doctors appointment in my history.  Besides not knowing the sex, I don't know if everything is looking good, why I'm measuring so far ahead, or if there's anything we should be concerned with.  All I know is the baby's heart rate is 149 and that Dr. Hendel is a bitch.

  1. that is such crap! That doc sounds like an Ob version of the one I saw in February. Grr! Will they let you know the sex at the 3d u/s?
