OB just cancelled my Friday appt.-RANT  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Grrr. I didn't see my OB last week because they were super backed up due to major snow storms. So I drove all the way there (good 30 min. from my house) then left. So I was last seen at 35 weeks. Now our area is flooding like crazy, ds's school let out at 11 today. Roads are closed, it's crazy. OB office just called and said they won't be open 'til next week. So I'll see her next Fri. at which point I'll be 38.2 weeks, jeez, doesn't that seem like a long time with no blood pressure check? IDK, maybe I'm just a tired crazy pregnant lady whose ds just had a 3 WEEK WINTER BREAK due to snow, and now he probably will be home the rest of the week!: Oh, did I mention I am sick, had a fever Sunday and Monday, and still have a sore throat and cough?: Sorry for the rant, but if anyone was going to GET high blood pressure it might be me!!! And it's my birthday so I feel old, and dd was supposed to start preschool yesterday but can't because of the weather.

Well, if anyone wants to add what's bothering them, I'll patiently listen...

Can you go to a pharmacy and do one of those self-check BP machines? I know they're aren't as reliable as a human doing it, but at least it's something.

Yeah, that. Or, can you get an appt with another OB in the same practice? Or even a nurse?
