Frustrated with Dr's

So I was supposed to have a Dr's appointment yesterday, my 39 week appointment. Got a call around 9am from the Nurse saying that the Dr I was supposed to have an appointment with is sick and would have to cancel our appointment, fine not a problem. The next available appointment was Friday at 1:40p with a different Doctor, one that I haven't met yet. However, I was supposed to have another appointment on the 28th, 1 day before I'm due and now I will have to reschedule that appointment as well. Now mind you, I have not had any internals or any tests regarding how big this baby is, or anything. I'm getting kind of frustrated as I have no idea what the heck my body is doing to me. I told the nurse on the phone that I wanted somewhat of an earlier appointment as I have been getting really bloated lately and wanted to get my BP check. No one over at this freaking practice seems to care. At 39 weeks, I'm starting to think I'm going to be pregnant forever and I just can't take it anymore.  I just find it odd that my Dr's could basically care less and they don't seem to notice when I call to ask them a question or express my concerns about something...rant rant rant, sorry ladies. I'm just fed up with a bunch of things at this point. Hopefully, some of you ladies will understand. :(

    Understandable to be annoyed.  However, keep in mind that internals mean nothing.  As long as your baby is moving and no bright red blood, you are just fine.  I felt like I was going to be pregnant forever, but it will end.  I was so irritated and frustrated at the end that my boyfriend barely could stand my attitude.  Get through it, it is so worth it!  I went overdue and it did end.

    I bet my Fiance is about to kill me lately. I am just so uncomfortable, irritated and upset and I know he doesn't get it but then again it seems to me like he doesn't want to even try, which I get..but while I'm in the mood, just seems like nothing is going to cheer me up. I wish I could just stay at home and do more and more nesting like I should but instead I'm still stuck at work.

    If you have a legitimate reason to be concerned over your blood pressure, they may let you come in just to have it checked. I know my doctor's office will. However, simply telling them, "Oh, I think my BP might be high" isn't really a legit reason.

    I guess all in all I'm just frustrated. I feel like a patient number to this practice and will not be using them in the future. Between the Dr's, FI being a butt head and me just being uncomfortable in my own skin, I'm just starting to break down. :( I know it will be over soon, but not soon enough if you ask me lol

    I'm surprised that they didn't make arrangements to see you.  I've been seeing my MW at a satellite clinic for the hospital where I'll deliver because it's closer.  Last week, she got caught on the freeway behind an accident and they made a point of squeezing me in at the big hospital that day.  They said I was too far along to miss an appointment. 

    I understand your frustration though.  They found extra fluid at my last u/s, so I had to get another one Monday.  That was all they checked, so I didn't get any kind of update at all - just the u/s results.  At this point, I don't care if it means anything or not.  I just want to know what's going on.
