Alright ladies, I just really need to rant about the doctors office/hospital I’ve chose while pregnant. Everything was going okay until recently. About a month and a half ago my legs and feet started swelling but one was always much larger and would never go down after rest or with water intake. I had brought it up multiple times and it wasn’t until a month later that my doctor noticed it herself without me saying anything and freaked out telling me I could have a blood clot. She wanted us to make an imaging appointment that very day to check it out but we were unable to due to work so we said the next day worked better as both me and my fiancé had that day off. She comes back in and says (and I shit you not) “you realize you could die from this? This is important to get checked right away.” Seriously? I had worried about it for a month prior and she never cared!

So that was the first thing that pissed me off👍🏻

The next is that we’re seeing a specialist as the baby has a possibility of having a chromosomal defect. So she’s passing most of her tests right away (things have been looking positive so far thankfully 🤞🏻) but they now want to see us weekly (these appointments are 700+ each time NOT included in regular appointments and L+D charge, EXPENSIVE) but never told us why. And I’m clueless as this is my first baby. Finally three more appointments go by and they tell me that the reason we need to keep coming back is because I’m at risk for still birth. BUT NO ONE EVER SAID ANYTHING TO ME ABOUT IT. So now fast forward to last week, we talk about setting an induction date on the third of June and I’m told they will call to set it up ASAP. I received no call wed-fri and Saturday rolls around. I come home from work not feeling right and take my blood pressure. It’s sitting at 142/91 for two hours so I call and they ask all what’s going on. I tell them my BP is high and I’ve had some cramping and sharp pain in my vagina for the last day or so. She then proceeds to explain what a real contraction is for 10 minutes before I cut her off to tell her my real concern is with the BP not that I think I’m having contractions. So finally they come to the conclusion that I should come in and get checked out. So we get there fill out some paper work and they never ask to see insurance or ID. And we get to the room and a nurse comes in asking for the WRONG patient. Then comes back with the right name and asks “so youre here for contractions and vomiting right?” WRONG. like why does NO ONE know what’s going on???! So then the REAL KICKER IS THIS. The nurse received a call from the front desk saying I have the wrong social written down. That it doesn’t match the one from the office. So they list off the last 4 digits. IVE NEVER SEEN THIS SOCIAL IN MY LIFE YALL. And I tell her it’s wrong. Then she tells me they have no record of me ever having appointments there or seeing my doctor. I tell her she’s wrong and that we saw her last week and everything else. That were to be induced in about a week and what’s going on with the baby. Long story short they keep messing up info and finally my BP goes down and we go home.

NOW fast forward to today (Tuesday) I get a call to schedule my induction (FINALLY YAY) and the lady says okay so June 4, I told her NO, June 3rd is what we talked about due to my husbands work schedule (if he works that day I’m induced he can’t leave work until I’m in actual labor the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard but okay whatever.) and she says that she JUST GOT THE ORDER THIS MORNING TO SCHEDULE OUR INDUCTION and they booked all appointments for the 3rd LAST WEEK WHEN WE DISCUSSED IT AND I WAS TOLD THEYD CALL ME. NOW THE REAL KICKER WITH THIS MESS UP IS I’m not a concern nor do I have a high risk pregnancy, I’ve had a “normal healthy pregnancy” according to her. BULLSHIT. THEYRE LITERALLY WATCHING ME WEEKLY FOR STILL BIRTH AND IM NOT HIGH RISK? I’m sure my blood pressure is through the roof right now and I’m beyond stressed at almost 39 weeks pregnant. I’m at a loss as to what to say or do.
