Ultrasound during covid-19

Brooke

Yesterday I had my first ultra sound. I must admit perhaps I watch way to much tv and was expecting the experience to feel more welcoming, warm, happy, caring. I’m not quite sure to be honest just over all more pleasant. Now although my fiancé and I felt many great feelings ourselves. I felt like we were treated like a number. I know the nurses and doctors are working so hard right now and have to protect themselves. And of course with the amount of women I saw in the waiting room; it is clear that many of us have no practiced social distancing with our partners.😉

The communication between the front desk and myself just wasn’t clear from the beginning. I am a first time mom. I believe I called in at least 3 times. To confirm the time and location. Not once was I given clear instruction on why was needed of me other than I mask. I called the day of to confirm the my fiancé’s in-fact allowed to come with me.

When we got to the hospital the woman who gave use “instructions” on how to get to our appointment location she just go down the hall and turn right. But there were sooo many entrances and halls. We didn’t know where do go exactly. So we had to a few different people on our way there.

All is in, I felt the individual who I can tell was sweet. Was at a time crunch. Our appointment was scheduled for 1;50 but we seen at 2:20, and I mean that’s fine. We were greeting and when I laid down the first thing she asked was did no one tell that you were supposed to have a full bladder and I responded no actually I wasn’t. So it was very hard for her to get the right angles and to have a clear images. So I felt it was merely the woman just struggling and redoing photos. She spoke with us a little. But I felt supper rushed. Although she did advise me it was going to be fast.

I don’t know. Super happy that we got to see our little one. But Covid really does have an affect on how people work and sadly the communication is so disturbed. No real interaction. I don’t blame anyone of course. Time’s are different right now and will be for a while. On the bright side here is my little bundle of joy. She couldn’t tell if it was a boy a girl...but
