Just thought we could have a thread to keep each other updated on how our appointments are going this week.

@texas_t that's amazing they are allowing the facetime. i know in normal times, i wasnt allowed to take photo of screen with my phone so i am wondering if the rule will be changed because DH is not allowed in.
@mimser i have been having a lot of PGAL brain regarding my first scan and i am going to be calling my doctor before my appt next week to see if they will make an exception to the rule based on my history. keep us posted--i hope YH can go in with you
I hope to God we're in a much better place come next May but, if not, I'm also comforted by the fact that my practice delivers at the one city hospital that never barred partners from being at births this year due to COVID. (There was a 2 or 3 week period this year where city hospitals barred partners because a hospital lost staff to COVID after an infected partner came in. After a legal challenge, that got reversed.)

In BC they are allowing partners in to U/S appointments but my husband can't come to the first one as its my daughter first day at outdoor preschool. Hopefully he can come to the anatomy scan.
@mimser 🤞🤞 I hope he can come with you!!

@texas_t I'm glad you liked the new OB and that YH was able to go too!
My coworker was telling me today that her husband hasn't been able to go to any of the appointments and she is 26 weeks (I think). So far, DH is able to come with me...it's so crazy how the rules are totally different by office even though they are right down the street from one another.

@mimser hopefully you can FaceTime! I can't imagine why they wouldn't be understanding and let you. FX
I switched from my OB to a midwife for this pregnancy, and I just learned that my appointment on Tuesday isn't going to have a dating scan and they likely can't use a doppler this early. So it feels like a total letdown because it's not at all what I was expecting. I was excited because my husband and daughter could both come hear the heartbeat and see baby, and now I won't even get the comfort of knowing there is a heartbeat, or that everything is on track? Debating on what I want to do. Maybe I'm just being pregnant and dramatic, but I'm bummed and nervous.
Edit: I just realized this thread is supposed to be for people that have appointments this week. Oops. Sorry for jumping in the wrong week lol
All this is not to say that your feelings aren't valid. I would probably be bummed too. Is going to one of those private ultrasound places an option? Just a thought...
Also, this thread can be for anything appointment related. You did not post in the "wrong spot" at all.
@audmomout I would definitely be bummed to not get a dating scan at my first appointment! I only had he dating scan and anatomy scan with my first and it was a bummer to not get the 12 week one where the baby actually looks like a baby but we at least got to see him at the first appointment. I also have a friend who only had one ultrasound and that was the 20 week one...she found out at 20 weeks she was having twins! Definitely not ideal lol but she was still excited
