[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son’s SLP is pregnant and she has had to cancel or reschedule us 3-4 times in the past few months. She actually just emailed me about rescheduling two more appiointments this fall. While it is annoying to have to reschedule, or disappointing to have to skip a week, I certainly understand. I took tons of time off work with my pregnancy- once, I took the afternoon off to get a pedicure! When I am feeling frustrated or inconvenienced, I try to remind myself that she is a person and a parent just like I am. I am one of several clients on her schedule, and I dont have the right to expect her to prioritize my son over her own family or personal needs. [/quote]

Why would being pregnant necessitate someone rescheduling? When I was pregnant I scheduled medical appointments around pre-existing work commitments.  That sounds very unprofessional. [/quote]

Maybe she is feeling sick or having pain? Maybe she's also juggling a health crisis with her spouse or parents and is trying to schedule 50 things at once? Maybe the baby has CHD or some other serious problem diagnosed or suspected prenatally and they are seeing a busy specialist with barely any appointment availability? Maybe her house is suddenly falling down around its ears and they need to schedule a bunch of repairs before the baby comes? There are a million problems she could be having that would be a perfectly good excuse. We never know what's going on in someone else's life. [/quote]
