Welcoming a newborn into the world is an exciting time for parents but it can also be a stressful one.
Ensuring that your baby is healthy and receiving the necessary medical care is a top priority. However, for one new mother, a routine checkup appointment for her newborn resulted in an unexpected confrontation. The mother, who had given birth on the 1st, called on Saturday to schedule a checkup appointment for her newborn, but the office was closed. She was given an appointment for the following Friday. Upon arriving for the appointment, she was confronted by staff and even a doctor asked why her baby hadn’t been seen yet.
Feeling frustrated and upset, the mother expressed her dissatisfaction with the situation, stating that if the baby needed to be seen within two days, then the physician needed to have available appointments within that timeframe. She also mentioned that even if she had made the appointment right after giving birth, her baby still wouldn’t have been seen within two days since she had to wait five days for her own appointment. Scroll down for the full story.
A mother has shared her experience of taking her newborn for his first checkup:
OP recently had a baby and called the pediatrician’s office on Saturday to make a newborn checkup appointment but they were closed. When OP called on Monday, she was unable to get an appointment until Friday, but since the baby was doing well, OP thought it was okay to wait.
OP arrived at the doctor’s appointment and was asked by multiple people why her baby had not been seen yet.

OP yelled at the doctor for not having available appointments within the recommended timeframe for her baby’s checkup.
OP thought it was rude for someone to confront her in front of other patients and was relieved that it didn’t trigger her postpartum depression.
OP feels that the doctors should be more considerate towards new mothers, as being judged is the last thing a new mom needs.
OP’s story highlights the importance of clear communication between medical providers and new parents. New mothers need to feel supported and heard, not judged or shamed for circumstances beyond their control. It is also important for physicians to have flexible scheduling options to ensure that newborns receive timely medical care. Scroll down for the comments on the post.

The nurses kept asking her about her 64-month pregnancy:

She has 4 kids, she knows how to book appointments:
Doctors should visit the new moms at home.
