Worried About My New OB Office

I called my OB's office today since I woke up with the worst headache/migrane/tension headache whatever you wanna call it. It was so bad it had me feeling like I was gonna puke and I was very weak. I called the office and they told me to take extra strength tylenol and if that didn't work I could go to the hospital. I thought it was kinda weird since I have read online that it can be a sign of dehydration.
On top of that they didn't even have my appointment in the computer. They had all my information but no appointment. The lady that took all my information when I called didn't even actually work there and scheduled me two weeks in advance even though I told her I was anywhere from 8-13 weeks and was very high risk. They ended up scheduling me for the day after my original appointment. So my new appointment is on the 4th but what really sucks is that it is at 8:30 in the morning. I'll have to get my mom to watch Addy for me since it takes about 20-30 minutes to get there.
The first appointment will most likely be a pap and family and pregnancy history review. So I don't know when my first ultrasound will be. It's kinda frustrating cause I really need to find out how far along I am and my thyroid levels need to be checked. I just feel like i'm not a priority. My old OB got me in within the next week(I need to cancel that appointment tomorrow) and would have had me come in if I called. I have to go with a new OB in the next town over though cause I am not having this baby in our local hospital.
They have no NICU and the nursing staff is not great at all. They don't want you walking the halls so you have to call them for them to bring you your baby which could take up to 40min. In the next town over you can go get your baby out of the nursery if you'd like. They also have a 51 bed Level III Regional NICU which is great and exactly what I need just in case anything happens again this time.
So there's my blog for the day! Hopefully this new OB will prove to be great. I'll post again after my first appointment!
