Seriously..How hard is it to make an appointment??

Yesterday I called my OB b/c I wasn't sure if I needed to even be seen up here. Since we're moving I'd hate to have an appointment if I didn't need one then go through all the hassel of transferring everything when we move at the start of March. So, I called my old OB in Vancouver to get an appointment. I know they are always booked out far in advance so I wanted to make sure I could get in right away. So, I call and get a big old load of crap. Apparently, they can't even make me an appointment until we move b/c my insurance company will change when we move and the one I have now is not one they accept. So, they won't even block me out an appointment until we've moved and the insurance has changed. So I said, that means I won't even be able to schedule an appointment until 2 months after I've moved. That means I'd be around 20+ weeks and never seen a doc. I'm sooooo not okay with that! This is the biggest load of BS I've ever heard. Seriously, you can't tell me that she's not even allowed to schedule an appointment w/out the insurance being the right HMO. It's still the same provider just a different HMO and right now, we have open medical, not even an HMO. The dumb broad seems to think that I have to have an open med for Vancouver, not just WA state. Give me a break. You hear so much about the important of good prenatal care and yet I can't even get in until 20 + week. I was ticked! So, tomorrow I'm calling my OB, the one I love to pieces and I know he'll get me in around 8 or 9 weeks just to check on things! Stupid people. Don't you know not to piss off a PG woman?
