How long before first seeing OB?

I went to the hospital because I was having a lot of pain when I found out I was pregnant. They did an ultrasound on me, but told me if I wanted to get into their high risk pregnancy center, to have a referral sent from my primary.

My primary has messed this up three times and I've just called back begging them to fix it. But this means it's been nine days since I found out I was pregnant and haven't seen an OB. I am 14 weeks along.

How long is it safe to be waiting, as a high risk pregnancy, for an appointment?? I feel helpless and scared that I'm not going to get an appt in time. Thanks.

Honestly if it is high risk I would've gotten in ASAP if that was the case. I begged to be seen sooner with this current pregnancy which they got me in at 8 weeks. They are also doing a heart beat check every week for the next month to make sure baby is healthy. I'm going to say I wouldn't stick with a OB if they're taking that long. I'd try to get in someplace else.

Elective C-Section booking

Hello everyone!

My due date is 31st December…I’m definitely having a C-Section due to complications with my first labour.

Will my section be booked in exactly a week before (christmas eve), or will they avoid that date due to staff shortages over the holiday season?

Thankyou❤️❤️❤️

Sons first birthday

My sons 1st birthday was a month ago , and I’ve been recently told by a friend of my soon to be ex husband that I made the party all about me and I shouldn’t have opened the presents and I should have let him open them all ..
certain people were already running late as usual , and other people were already wanting to leave . And that makes me a bad mom for trying to keep things afloat?

Reduced movemements based on baby's positioning?

Had a growth scan wednesday just gone and baby was fine, not very wriggly on the scan but ticked off as all good, but he'd moved and is now frank breech so bum down legs up near his ears. He'd been head down and transverse previously on scans and I could tell based on the constant movemement but now his movement since the scan and confirming this different position has reduced loads and I only really feel him move if I have a cold drink or some food and lay down.
I've been told he likely doesn't have much room to kick in this position and the movements I'm feeling are mostly him pushing my skin rather than kicks? Is this accurate does anyone know?
My toddler is poorly so can't go into triage to get checked without difficulty
