So sorry wishful, I would be so upset as well! And to make you wait that many more weeks to be seen is crazy. I dont know if you could do this, Ive done it before, just call a different doctors office and book your 20 week scan with them. Id think it would be cheaper then getting an ultrasound for "fun" and they can tell you if something is wrong or not. You dont have to been seen by the same place your whole pregnancy, of course you would want to but if you dont want to wait Id go somewhere else.
Unless they gave you a reason to be concerned I would try not to worry so much. And to me if there is something really wrong they would book you alot sooner and not make you wait. If you can invest in a heart rate monitor. That way hearing babies heart rate can calm your fears. It takes longer with your first child to feel movements so dont be alarmed. I think you will start feeling baby before your next appointment then that will really help calm your fears.
Either way that was wrong of them to do that to you and Im really sorry. I think doctors get so use to seeing pregnant women they forget about us as individuals and dont think how we wait so long for our appointments, and worry every day till we are seen.
