NO doctor? what the heck?

in 3rd Trimester

I have to laugh, my dr just went away for a week so if I go into labor, I will have who ever is on call at that time to deliver baby.

My SIL is a nurse at the hospital...she brought me a memo last night that says on Sunday at 6am-Monday at 8am, there will be NO obstetrics doctor at the hospital...what the heck??  If someone is to go into labor at that time they will transport them to our nearest city which is 1.5 hours away!!  I don't know whether to laugh or cry- and hope baby comes before that or just after!

I think I am having some really ODD things happen lately...lol last week, I was told not to have to baby if I could help it because the maternity ward at the hospital was BEYOND busy!! lol

I guess I am just going to smile and laugh through these odd circumstances that keep popping up!!

    Haha maybe they will rely on Midwives ?? lol That is sort of funny though . I completly understand the whole " you should wait to have your baby ,were very busy today " comment . When I went to Labor and delivery because of really bad upper abdomin (sp?) pain , the nurses were so busy (8 births going live as I was being checked in ) , they begged me just to be having gas pain lol . I was like THANKS BECAUSE I WANT TO WAIT TO HAVE THIS CHILD LOL .

    I'm concerned about that too. My due date is Oct. 1st, and I'm so worried they'll be having a "busy day" due to all the scheduled inductions and c-sections that people will no doubt want to have so their babies can be 10/1/10.

    My dr is gone until the 4th, so he isnt doing any inductions until then.  I am also due the 1st so I dont want to have to wait the extra 3 days..lol   It must have been a cold winter for everyone considering the amount of sept/oct births!! lol

    this is how it always is where i live.  you have a regular OB you see throughout your pregnancy but when you actually go into labour and go to the hospital, its just whichever dr that is working at that time that will deliver your baby.

    Don't worry about this - If the L&D unit is too busy with people going into labor naturally, they will not start elective inductions.

    the hospital i'm delivering at is moving on the 2nd.  i'll be full term on the 30th and the dr thinks i may go early since i'm already having contractions on a daily basis and making progress.  if i go into labor on october 1st or 2nd, i'll get caught in the transfer.  not to mention my dr is on vacation october 2nd-8th.  i so understand not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
