Hi

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Was with my OB today for standard visit and he just drops into conversation that if baby comes on due date or early he won't be here as he's on holidays.

Now I've got just under 8 weeks to go and he has been booked as my OB since I was 2 weeks pregnant (IVF baby so you find out really early). We've already paid the majority of his fees but now it appears we are paying him money for something he may not even be around for. As you can imagine I'm not really impressed.

He comes back from his holidays on the day after my due date so given that this is my first in all probability I won't go early or on time so he will be there but I don't think that is the point. Surely if you book an OB you can expect that he won't take holidays around your due dates. And when he is taking bookings he would block out periods during the year where he wouldn't be there.

Has this happened to anyone else?
