to not want to spend half the day in the AN clinic on Friday when it would have been my DD's seventh birthday that day?

Really not looking forward to it! I've had the appointment a few weeks but it didn't occur to me what the date was until we were discussing plans for the weekend.

Last night I emailed the SoM who has helped me with a few things and asked if she can arrange somehow to get me pushed through because it's a high risk clinic it means a half day appointment, they're bad enough at the best of times but it's really not a day we want to be hanging around there. As it's a high risk clinic it's only held monthly as non-obstetric doctors come from another hospital.

I'm getting a little twitchy because I've had no "away" message but she's not responded yet, I'd have thought with something this sensitive she could have at least sent me a reply and said "let me see what I can do" even if she needs time to work things out. I just want to know that I'm not going to have to sit around there. OH's hoping to get out early too, even though he's coming with me, so we can take the girls to visit their sister.

So what do you think - should I just put up with three hours there on that date, am I being too twitchy about a reply?

Thinking of you and your family this morning, Confuddled. Have a word when you book in, just tell them you are really struggling due to the circumstances. I'm sure they will be able to do something, even if it was ringing your mobile when there is only one last in front of you.

Not sure if I missed it on the thread, but could you ask to wait in a side room? Ours is a combined women's and AN waiting area, and it is wierd waiting for a different gynae issue and seeing loads of pg women. (even though I don't want another, for some it would be v insensitve).

Depending on how your oh is maybe he could talk to the receptionist. Hope the appointments go really well and you have a boring and uneventful pregnancy.
