OB/Gyn...too busy for a baby??
I have a question...I am not yet pregnant but plan on using my current OB/Gyn when I am. He is VERY popular. I just called and the earliest appt. is July 15th. In your opinion and experience do you think he might be TOO busy when I am preggo? there are a cple others doctors there but I worry that they are just too popular and wont have time for me??
I know they are good, which is why they are popular but I figured I would ask for your input, since you are the experts on this. TIA

I would be more afraid if they weren't busy. If you are comfortable with your doc I wouldn't change.

Before I was pregnant, my OB was like this as well. Once you get pregnant, you will be able to get whatever appointment time/day you want (pretty much  )
If you love him, stick with his practice.

Re: OB/Gyn...too busy for a baby??
When you are pregnant it is different. You have a protocol of every 4 weeks up until you are in your 3rd trimester. I don't think you would have trouble getting an appointment. Everything is different when you are pregnant, even if you call them for the sillest thing, they will fit you in.
When you are a regular OB patient (non-pregnant) they can push you off as long as possible (not saying this is right) but pregnant women get the "right of way" in a sense.

how pregnant are you? They might have given you that date b/c a lot of doctors like the first appt to be around 7 or 8 weeks pregnant so that they can clearly detect the heartbeat. I wouldn't worry.

Yeah, when you are preggers you pretty much call the shots of when you can be seen. But if you are only a couple of days, they may tell you to wait to be seen.

Regular OB/GYN appts you will always wait forever for...my office was like that. Once you are PG you can EASILY get an appt whenever you want. I think they leave slots open specifically for OB appts.
