by me!!!


I haven't even see my Dr. yet because he is SO booked and took some vacation time. (The u/s tech saw me at 6 weeks) The earliest my Dr. could get me in is Oct. 21 (next Friday)! I've been going nuts to say the least. I have called twice to ask if there have been any cancellations. I don't even know my due date!!!


This morning I was fed up....this isn't fair. I had a missed m/c at 11 weeks (baby stopped growing at 71/2 weeks) and I feel I need some reassurance. They finally gave in and said I could see the tech today! YEAH!!! I felt guilty at first for being such a pest. The receptionist is probably so annoyed by me, but who cares. I can't take this anxiety anymore.


My appointment is in a hour and I am sooooooooooooo nervous. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Stephanie - you have every right to care, you are NOT being a pest, you are being pro-active when it comes to your health ! That's so great they can see you today, at least for an u/s. They should be able to give you a due date today, my 10w3d u/s was used to date this pg. Yay, and I hope all goes smoothly for you at your app't. Don't be apologetic for wanting to be seen, either. You're the one who is paying them to deliver this service to you. They should be willing to work for their money, right ?
Hugs, and can't wait for a happy update later.

Oh Stephanie!!! Lots of wonderful appt dust to you for today!!! Update soon!

And hey...don't worry about being a little "high maintenance". I am the same way. I figure WE are paying THEM, right?? To me they should be at our becon call. They should also understand that after a loss we'll need to be seen a bit more. (((HUGS))) and wishing you a wonderful appt again!

They're probably used to people like us! I'm glad you stood your ground and got an appointment. it's so important to have at least a little reassurance during this very scary time.

I hope the appointment goes amazingly- let us know whhen you can!

Love,

Stephanie,
Good luck at your appt today, I hope it goes really, really well! Like others said, YOU pay the Dr's to work for you, so don't feel bad for pushing to get an appt. You deserve to know that your baby is ok!
