Would you?

Since it is painfully obvious all I think about is getting to the ultrasound and knowing I have a baby with a heartbeat, I've been doing some creative thinking. 

My next appt is Dec 29-I am off that whole weeks since I am a teacher.  Standard operating procedure for my office is to give the referral for u/s at that appointment.

DH is off of work from the 27 -Jan 8th

I am chaperoning a trip from Jan 7-9. 

Obviously it would be best if I could get a u/s appt before Jan 6. 

I am familiar with the rad. office as I have been there 3 times in the last year. They usually give you an appt about a week from when you call to make the appt. 

Knowing all this would you call the OB, explain the situation, and see if it would be alright to call an make that appt now, so I can definitely get in  when I want?

Do you think they would allow this?

I think I would feel better if I had an actual date to look forward to,

Yes, I would.  It seems like a perfectly reasonable request to me!

I absolutely would.

I always schedule my appointments way early due to DH's work schedule.  If it is within the time that your Dr recommends you shouldn't have a problem and you shouldn't have to tell them your life story to be able to schedule an appointment.

It sure doesn't hurt to ask! Good luck!

The good news is, often times it seems like OBs are a bit more willing to work with the previous loss ladies....probably since they know they'll have a crazed, scared, hormonal woman on their hands if they don't throw a few bones our way

This!  You can def call ahead.  You don't "need" a referral to make the appt, just for billing your insurance
