So at my 30 week checkup, my doctor dropped it on me that he wants me to go see Maternal Fetal Medicine next week for an U/S. Not because he's worried or thinks something may be wrong, but because of maternal age and the recurrent miscarriages (caused by thrombophilia, I'm using Heparin successfully with this one to treat it).
Has this happened to anyone else?
Re: Anyone else have to go to Maternal Fetal Medicine?
Due to "my age" and previous loss the old OB had me going to see MFM once or twice a month for U/Ss and various testing since they dont do many tests in the office itself.
But I will say it is much nicer getting to see Kieran every couple of weeks. This is honestly the longest I have gone without seeing him at all.
Next 2 appointments are 6 days apart - one with the new OB and then one for the A/S.
It may make your heart jump at first to hear that they are sending you there but all in all most of the time it is because the regular OB office isnt equipped with the things they need for proper monitoring on our old lady parts (sarcasm)
I will be the Aug 3 for 2nd level NT scan and more follow up due to our age.
my friend is the now due to breaking of water on 1 of 2 twins on hospital bed rest but loves the place and attention she is doing great
