Ultrasound difficulties

[TeniBear]

I always end up replying to your topics lol...

Aaaaanyway, I've already explained (once it took me three hours to calm down) that I accepted the 2:45 appointment coz 1. I was angry and 2. I didn't care at that point who would be excluded or hurt by it, I'd waited long enough to see Smudge again. I wasn't waiting an extra minute to save someone else's feelings, even yours... I feel horrible for it now, but you know I'll be letting you know right away how it goes, and we'll of course watch the dvd a million times on Monday night

I'm still p!ssed off at that woman, I really think she should have fudged it a bit and let you run off to get the form while I waited

skybie: I'm not changing the time. I was annoyed enough as it was that we had to wait all week until Friday when I wanted it on Tuesday. Plus they're really busy all the time so they might not have been able to get me in when Scott's not at work, and before my hospital appointment on Thursday.

Curly: He starts work at 2 and finishes at about midnight, so we couldn't have it on Monday at all since the earliest appointment was 2:45

aussienic: We were referred from the hospital, I'm not doing shared care (my GP's clinic is hopeless, I have to remind them every time I'm there that I'm pregnant so they don't prescribe me anything harmful to Smudge) so they didn't even know I was having an ultrasound.

can you not ask to start work a couple hours late? esp if seeing bubs is so important to you?

i am very surprised that they didnt tell you to bring the referal when the appointment was booked.

Goodluck monday

If you really think your boss wouldn't be up for a bit of negotiating, for the sake of an hour and a half I'd be faking car trouble, medical problem, whatever, if it is this important to you and you aren't willing to change the appointment.

FWIW (and I know you are excited and want it done asap) the scan is usually performed between 18-20 weeks so if you are only 18 weeks you have some time up your sleeve.

I really don't see why they couldn't do the scan and then afterwards you could run back and get the referral and bring it back to them and they could then tabulate your results, but I guess that is neither here nor there now.

it doesn't sound like you can do alot teni or scott - the only thing i could think is either ask work could he go in late or leave for a hour or so or as suggested above say you had car trouble lol. seriously though i can only imagine how upset and disappointed you both are and i really hope you get something sorted. take care of yourselves xxxxx

With the work situation, Scott wasn't originally rostered on for Monday, but the store manager switched his shifts because he's learning how to do something (don't ask what, I seriously can't remember what it was lol)... He's a Maccas manager, so he can't ask for time off so close to a shift even without that factored in. His roster's done about a month in advance. The reason the appointment was even on Friday (and I wanted it on Tuesday) was coz I knew he wasn't working during the day and I wanted him there more than anything.

(If anyone's wondering why I'm answering and he's stayed silent, he's not on BB that often, plus he worked overnight last night so he's sleeping.)

It's also not completely because I'm excited to be seeing the baby again, I'm increasingly worried that something's wrong. I'm a real worrier, and every day that goes past without feeling any movement makes me crazy... I just need to know my baby's okay
