Argh. I need to get a physical

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
This is more of a rant that anything, but anyways. I have a camping trip to go on with with my son for Boy Scouts that requires a physical form to be filled out for him and myself. It has to be filled out by a MD, DO, nurse practitioner, or physician's assistant. I am having no luck finding anyone that will see me for this physical. I have a lay midwife with tons of experience but she can't fill out this physical. (Home birth is strongly opposed in Illinois.)

I don't know what to do. I am considering just going to a Prompt Care to get a physical and playing dumb about the pregnancy. I am about 4 months pregnant and gonna look a little ridiculous pretending not to know that I am pregnant.

Everything is working out on the homebirth itself, but grrr, this is aggravating.

I wouldn't think it would be a big deal to find someone who could do it. What are the reasons you are being given as to why no one will do the physical.... especially since it is only a camp physical?
