I just turned 27 weeks today and had an OB appointment. I posted earlier about how I was confused on whether I should fast or not, thinking I was getting my glucose test done. Well I called when they opened and the receptionist confused me even more. She said that they schedule it only between 24-28 weeks and then when I told her that I was 27 weeks she said that they schedule it for after 28 weeks. I let it go and decided to fast just in case. When I went in, the medical assistant asked me about it and I told her and she said “Uh no. Who told you that? You need that done within the next week”. My doctor told me that he thinks the reason they weren’t helping me is bc they assumed my health care is through the state.

While going through everything with me, the medical assistant also noted that my blood type was negative. I thought to ask her about it because any other time, they would tell me it was flagged in their system but they never explained it. She said “They didn’t explain that to you yet? They should have”. She wanted to set me up for an rh shot, but the doctor wanted my child’s father to get his blood drawn so I don’t get unnecessary work done. She tried to handed me the paper to go get the shot done and when I told her my doctor asked for a bloodwork sheet instead, she rolled her eyes at me as she left to print it. And now they are saying that my child’s father needs to hurry up and get it done ASAP because the bloodwork takes about a week and the shot needs to be administered by 30 weeks. But yet who knows if they would have mentioned if I hadn’t said anything 😅

Early on in my pregnancy, they waited to tell me they found an infection for THREE MONTHS. I had no symptoms for a little while so I didn’t know, but at the end I felt SO gross, with strong symptoms, bad cramps, and heavy yellow, clumpy discharge. So I’m worried this will be a scary trend 😢
