Well, i just got back from my 10 wk appt and I know nothing more now then before I went. I shared my concerns of having another MC and let the Dr know that I had been having pulling pains (no cramping). She would not even try to hear the heartbeat. I was told to wait until next Tuesday when I go see the high risk doctor. The Dr said it was only 4 days away. For her that may not seem like a long time, but for me it is a lifetime. I MC the last time at exactly 10 weeks so I am a mess.
Re: Frustrated!!
I think doctors often forget that we are not just the paper file in their hands. We are people, and do have an emotional interest in our health and our baby's.
Your doctor should have tried to at least been more understanding in my opinion. It's hard enough being pregnant, but to also be worrying makes it very rough.
It takes less than 5 minutes to find and let you hear the heart beat, what is wrong with her? I had a MC prior to my 1st child so I know what you are talking about. With this PG I had bleeding on and off for two wks, had an ultrasound at 6 wks so I got to see the heart beat. But, I have those pulling pains as well but no cramping and no more bleeding so I'm trying to make myself believe that it's just everything stretching as the baby grows.
Hang in there and wishing you sticky vibes.
that really sucks..that would have been so quick and easy for her to do and help ease your mind. Did she think it was to early to hear it on the doppler? I hope the next 4 days go quickly, try not to stress to much, which Im sure is hard not to worry. Sorry for your bad experience.
I have alot of pulling pains etc, as I Did with my first pregnancy, but I think sometimes cramping can be from gas, at least is is for me. Hang in there.. hoping for a h&h 9mths
