This is what happens when you try to do the right thing >:(

I woke up with a minor sore throat this morning.  No fever, no runny nose, so likely its just from dry air, but I can't be sure. 

I had an OB appt at 10am this morning, so I called them to let them know I had a sore throat (and nothing else)  I just wanted to let them know in case they had a 'mask' policy or could reschedule me for later in the day when it wouldn't be busy.

Yeah, the receptionist said not to come in.  I got rescheduled for TWO WEEKS FROM NOW!  That will make 6 weeks since I've last seen them!  I won't see them now until I am 35 weeks? I thought I was supposed to be going weekly or at least bi-weekly at this point.

If I was only 15 or 16 weeks along, it wouldn't be an issue, but come on.  I was at L&D having contractions just 4 days ago!  I guess they are counting that as a mini appointment.  Ha ha.  Sorry, this does not seem acceptable to me. I'm having one of the OB's call me back when she gets a chance.

This also means that I won't be seeing the MFM for 2 more weeks either.  It will have been almost 8 weeks since I've seen them!  (I have to get a referral from my OB before I see them, and they are pretty much booked for the next 2 weeks too)

I'm sure I'll be fine, and its just 2 more weeks... but as close as I am to the end, 2 weeks is a lot!

    That is ridiculous. I would call back and say that you're feeling much better now and that the sore throat was just from the dry air. You are way too far along go that long without seeing your OB.

    That is crazy!  I would just go right in and wait for them to take me.

    I would call back and ask to speak to the nurse. The receptionist may not know what she's talking about. The same thing happened to me and when I called back, they apologized profusely and got me in right away. GL!

    I spoke to my fav OB (my usual one) and she said she could see me first thing on Monday.  Thats still 5 days away, but she said she was comfortable with that.  Since I'm going to be doing a NST, its really the first open appointment they have.  They will be closed Thursday - Sunday for Christmas.

    Anyway, I can wait 5 days, at least its not 2 weeks!

    And I think I actually AM getting a cold, so maybe it was all for the best.

    Oh, that doesn't sound very good to wait that long!  I called mine a few weeks ago to tell them I had a cold and they said as long as I had no fever I should still come in...
