Some doctors need to do more tests.

I went to a hospital on Tuesday afternoon cause I was bleeding , i didn't see the doctor till 7 , the doctor gave me a pelvic exam and kept saying sorry u lost the baby , I balled my eyes out and realized that it wasn't my fault and there was nothing I can do. The doctor gave me two options , the first one was a D&c and the second was medication . I picked the first one and went outside to get fresh air and not even 5 mins after my nurse came looking for me and told me I had to come back cause the ambulance was going to take me the general hospital . When I got to the general I saw a gynaecologist cause I thought that's where they were going to do the procedure , but she did an pelvic exam and there was no more blood and while she checked my cervix she felt my stomach . She told me I was going for an ultrasound and to get bloodwork to see how my hormone levels were . I was so scared that there wasn't going to be anything in my uterus. When that was done we were playing the waiting game till she was done delivering a baby. When she got back she told me that the fetus is perfectly healthy with a strong heartbeat of 168 and that my hormone levels were really high. The reason I was bleeding was cause of a implantation tear . I was so happy that everything was fine with the fetus but I was upset that the other doctor never did any other test just a pelvic . I am so glad that I went to the general.

Me too , we talked to her about the other doctor and she said that he should done more tests before telling you that u lost it , when someone goes to the emergency and has bleeding or cramping they are suppose to do an ultrasound .

Unfortunately I know several people who have been told they were m/c'ing and should have a D&C, only to get a second opinion and find a perfectly healthy fetus. It happens fairly often in ER's.

Such an awful experience. I'm so glad you had a good outcome though!

Wow. How emotional for you! So glad all is well.

Holly cow! This is the umpteenth story that I have read where doc's said you are losing/have lost/are doomed to lose the baby and suggest an abortion (and some of them need to make you decide really fast?), and then it turns out that the baby is perfectly healthy. I have even read some saying this b/c they did not hear a heartbeat or see a fetus at 6 weeks... This is consequential and these docs should at the minimum receive bad reviews online.
Back to you @sabrinapaul, I am very sorry to hear you had to go through this emotional rollercoaster. But in the end, I am very very happy for you that your baby is doing well! Congratulations and I hope all continues to go well. You may want to look for another ob in case you are consistently dissatisfied with this one.

I can't imagine what a night you've had.  I am so glad everything is ok!

It seems unethical on the first docs part. I am so sorry to hear about your night but i am so happy that everything is back on track. Get some rest and yes DO file a complaint as others have suggested.

That must have been terrifying!  I  am SO happy for the outcome! BUT I have to say despite how awful the experience was I would rather read 100  experiences like this then 1 more loss thread. I just can't handle any more loss in this group.

((hugs)) and fx for a drama and scare free remainder of the pregnancy!

I wait to read the loss threads until I feel up to it. Which is usually when I'm at home cuddling DD. It is sad... I just want everyone to have a happy ending.

Reading the loss threads scares the shit out of me. Just when I think I'm safe because of one milestone or another, I find anything can happen at anytime. I literally cry every time one of us has to leave.
