Suggest Treatment For Broken Fibula During Pregnancy

I m 34 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I broke the lower portion of my fibula on Sunday. I was told today that I won t see anyone in orthopedics until Jan 14, 2.5 weeks from when the break happened. I m currently in a temporary cast. This seems like a long time to be in a temporary cast and I m worried about having to deal with whether or not they re going to give me a cast or boot on Jan 14 or if I ll have to go back in while being so close to giving birth. Is the time frame on this temporary cast about right for most or does it seem long?
