I was sent to the maternity triage for fetal observation after my OB found an irregular heartbeat during my glucose test. I arrived around 330 pm and was not released until 10 pm after i requested several times to leave. They insisted i stay overnight to be seen by someone in the morning however felt my baby and i were in no danger. When i asked, after bring told we were both very healthy, why i had to stay overnight instead of just coming back in the morning to meet the dr who would be in i was laughed at and told "whelp, thats a really good question i cant answer." I was offered no food or water for 7 hours and left waiting with no answers. The next day, i arrived at the agreed upon time, again, i waited. I arrived at 730 am and waited until 1 pm for an echo. During this time, again, no water or food offered to me. Two hours after the echo i was told the dr still wasnt in the building. After i cried from sitting with no answers for two days, being hungry, thirsty, uncomfortable and just very uncertain they eventually called the dr to have him remotely view the echo. 15 hours i waited total for them to tell me he has an irregular heartbeat that will probably just go away and to go back to my OB in a week. I felt so unnecessarily and overwhelmingly stressed and so unheard and so out of control my entire stay at this hospital.
