Vent/Rant: I'm about to choke my boyfriend out if he doesn't stop playing games and keep putting off getting this blood drawn that the doctor asked him to since week 9 to check his blood type and whatnot to make sure they babygirl doesn't have a chance of having alpha thalassemia. It's one thing if it was optional and they just thought it was a good idea, but they keep asking me at every single appointment if he got it done yet and keep telling me to have him get it done which makes me think it's pretty important. If I could draw it my damn self I would; his first excuse was that he rescheduled his appointment because of a job interview, then he went to a walk in clinic that lied to him and told him he needed to fast for the blood work, then there was an issue with his insurance and the rude receptionist lied again and told him that he had to pay the money upfront to get the work done (which isn't true), then his insurance got fixed and he planned on going to get it done the next day but family came over because a relative (that they weren't very close to might I add) passed away so he claimed he couldn't, then he got an appointment on a day he had off recently and he just rescheduled that one, claiming the doctor sent him a letter saying he wouldn't be in so it had to be rescheduled, mind you he goes to a center at one of our local hospitals, so he doesn't have a set Doctor that he sees, and every time I bring it up it turns into an argument, but he can ask me about stupid stuff 24/7 😒😑. Anyone else's partner get asked to get blood work done to determine the chances of baby having alpha thalassemia and did they ever get it like they were asked? I've read that it can be as mild as anemia (which is what I have and why he was told to get that blood work done) but that it could also be serious and even fatal in some cases.
