I had to unexpectedly switch doctors midway through my last pregnancy due to insurance changes with my local hospital. I ended up loving the doctors and the hospital and it was the absolute best birth and postpartum care at the hospital. My daughter turned 1 a few days later I had a positive pregnancy test.

I called them up to make a confirmation appointment and was told their policy is the surgical coordinator calls to get all the background information and then she schedules your first appointment and dating scan and everything at one time on that call. Okay sounds good. It was two days later and no call yet. So I called and just wanted to check in that everything was okay. I was told they had just lost two doctors so they’re slightly backed up but they should get to me by the end of the week. Cool. I get that.

Well I gave them yesterday and half of today and called back and the receptionist I talked to said she knows they were making calls today and she was sending a message over to the surgical coordinator.

So I’m still waiting trying to not over think or panic. I know they can’t do anything if I have a loss. I know having an early scan and blood work won’t change anything but my anxious self is jumpy.

This is pregnancy 10 for me but will be birth 5 and kiddo 6. My old doctors office wouldn’t even consider you pregnant until you took their test then scheduled your first appointment for 7-8 weeks. So this is different for sure.
