Emergency services spouses (FD, PD, EMS, etc), how do y’all schedule things

Why can’t baby go. I usually bring my kids with me. And if I can get my husband to take off work or have it on an off day I will

I’m going for a prenatal check up (unplanned pregnancy). The office isn’t exactly stroller friendly. I’d have to get it up some stairs to get into the office and then down a flight to go down for the sonogram. During the sonogram they do belly as well as probe so I’d have to take off my pants. I have a very active 1 year old who hates being strapped in for too long. When I made the appointment I texted my husband the day/time, added it to the shared calendar, then verbally told him multiple times about the appointment

Gotcha yeah it’s definitely annoying but I wouldn’t re schedule. That’s definitely a stupid mom office if it’s unacceptable for kids that’s ridiculous. For future idk maybe find another office to go to just for literal ease with kids and a stroller. But for mine i’ve brought my son when I was pregnant with my second to all those doctors appointments. My husband was only at like the initial one and the 20 week. Then the rest I went to on my own. You could maybe ask someone to watch them during your appointment like a nurse. Or let your toddler roam around. My daughter is also active and at some appointments if bring toys and let her kind of just walk around. They don’t know any difference with your pants off so that doesn’t really matter

I’m not concerned about being pantless around my baby, I bring her in the bathroom with me in the mornings because she’s clingy and will literally cry lol. My concern is being there with the probe in use and she gets into something she shouldn’t. It’s not like I can just jump up and grab her like that. Honestly the way the office is threw me off but this doctor/office is 20x better than the one that I went to with my first pregnancy which is why I chose to stay with them. It’s just annoying that I made the appointment purposely on a day that I knew he wasn’t working and he went and took a shift without consulting the calendar or me first. The person I asked to watch her is the one who told me to get my head out my ass (my mother) because I expressed my annoyance at the situation

Ugh yeah I’m sorry that’s definitely annoying. I’d just talk to your husband and let him know how it makes you feel and definitely talk to you before just picking up another shift. I’m sorry that she said that that’s real annoying.

Honestly no this is not your fault it seems to me that he either forgot or just didn’t prioritize it
