I HATE calling the pediatrician. Just hate it. I get nervous and have to get myself ready for at least 5 minutes before hand. I don't know why, but I dread it.
Probably because I will inevitably have to go in with one sick kid and two well kids, and hopefully leave with only one sick kid.

I definitely do! I hate calling most anyone on the phone. I have to gear myself up, too.

@JerricaBenton: Same here. I'm just not a fan of talking on the phone in general. And to think we used to spend hours on the phone chit chatting as teenagers in HS! HA!

@Alivoo01: oh yes! I remember watching tv shows with friends on the phone lol. Now I get irrationally excited when I can order takeout online and not have to talk to anyone!

Me too! I always worry I won't know the answer to their question and feel like a terrible mom or something! So ridiculous.

I don't mind calling the Ped, but my husband would rather poke his eye with searing hot spike.
But *I* get nervous every time I have to talk to my boss to request time off or take a sick day for my kid. He's always been nice about things so far, but I always feel like today will be the day he yells at me for asking. I'm weird.

I'm always worried they are going to think I'm a bad parent for needing them (super dumb!). Or get annoyed that I called in the first place for something that isn't major.

Yeah, I hate calling, but mostly because I feel like an inconvenience, and then I worry that I'll get there and it will be nothing

I love calling the doctor.... I love to have that option so I don't necessarily have to bring my LO in, and how they have advice for me on what to do when. They often make me feel better too! True there are times I'd be shaking when called (like when LO had a 104.2 temperature in the middle of the night) but I am very thankful I have the option to call instead of not knowing if I should run to the emergency room.
ETA: I also hate calling people in general but I don't mind calling the doctor's line. I don't know why.
