Prenatal visits
I currently have a 5 year old and im not sure how much things have changed since then. I had appointments every 2 weeks. When i found out i was pregnant they had me take a test then schedule an appointment for an u/s and got all of my family history and any medical related questions for the doctor a few days later. I am currently expecting and i went for my "first appointment" the other day and was blown away but how much noone gave 2 flips. My appointment was scheduled for 130 to which I arrived at , because i was told to come early, but wasnt seen until 2. I filled out NO paperwork i used my name to sign in and that was it. Now just to inform you i havnt been to this place in over 5 years, and my 5 year old doesn't have the same father and the one i am currently carrying. I peed in a cup. Waited in the room for a few mins and the nurse comes back says ur deff pregnant and took my b/p which was high. I informed the nurse i previously miscaraged 13 months prior to getting pregnant this time and they didnt get the info they needed to inform me as to why, that i had a headache a week straight, and i had severe cramping the past week (i think i am around 9 weeks prego). She said "u should be fine keep stopping at cvs or walgrees and check ur b/p because it was high your appointment with the doctor is sept 6th have a nice day".
😐 i was infuriated can i at least get an est on my due date based on my pd. Or hear a heart beat to make sure baby is still alive?!. And an appointment that far away?! No perscription for parentals? Not even a follow up to check my pressure? I feel completely looked over and disregarded like my child and i dont even matter! With a history of a miscarage?!
Ok please i no i am loaded with hormones but am i being level headed about this or am i overthinking this? To me this is crazy!
