Ugh! My other two pregnancies went by without a hitch, no symptoms at all. This time around I'm getting nauseous at the most random times, although it is mostly while in the car. I asked the MW that will be my MW in about a month(I'm moving in a month and not getting prenatal care until I get there with her) about it and she said to have it checked out. Other than the nausea everything has been fine, and I really don't want any ultrasounds. Could I go to a GP, or would the GP make me see an OB who of course would most likely require an U/S?

Hey, pretty girl, it feels so right,
All wrapped up in my arms so tight
Hey, pretty girl, it feels so right
Life's a long and winding ride
Better have the right one by your side
And happiness don't drag its feet
Time moves faster than you think
I'm not really sure what you are asking specifically.. ultrasounds and dopplers use non ionizing radiation and i don't see how having one would put you at risk. Sure misdiagnosis takes place in both directions but that goes hand in hand with anything medical in life.
That been said I am not here to talk you into having an u/s that is completely unnecessary for what sounds like morning sickness. However; if you did see a gp and they could detect a hb via u/s would that ease your mind? your other alternative would be to get blood work to ensure your levels are rising appropriately, this may also give you peace of mind.
I hear ya on the sickness though I don't remember feeling this bad with my first.. boo
I had the same question. My nausea has been so much worse with this pregnancy, also #3. My doc says my progesterone levels are pretty high, which is great for baby, not so fun in the nausea department. I guess if you weren't able to stay hydrated or nourished at all, there would be cause for concern, but it doesn't sound like that's the case. Good luck!

not all pregnancies are created equal so (as the majority of people have) it is possible you could be going through m/s. if you are really concerned you will most likely need to see an ob, unless you have a primary doctor who has ob experience.
also, i would love to know where you have read evidence of ultrasounds being unsafe. if you have the link/book could you please share with us?
It sounds like you are experiencing occasional nausea, which is pretty typical in pregnancy. Every pregnancy is different so just because you didn't have M/S before doesn't mean you won't now.
It doesn't appear as though you're having excessive vomiting or are unable to keep fluids down, so I am not sure why you'd need medical care.
I didn't have any sickness with my son...this pregnancy I'm neauseas all the time and getting sick daily...my doc said to just hang in there till I'm out of first tri....did you ever have any ultrasounds with your other 2 pregnancys? I don't think I have ever heard of anyone not wanting one to see there baby...to each is own....but as for being unsafe...I don't think that's the case at all...women get them every day...
To each their own if you don't want an ultrasound.. But with my first pregnancy my son was diagnosed with hydronephrosis of the kidney's at my 20 week ultrasound.. If I hadnt had it done I wouldn't have known and he would have gotten really sick.. He has now had 3 different surgeries and is perfectly healthy.. I thank God for that ultrasound..To me technology is a wonderful thing and in my case was a life savor for us..
I'm confused. you are concerned b/c you are nauseous? just b/c you weren't with your first two pregnancies? nausea is a very common pregnancy symptom. I'm also on my 3rd pregnancy and I am very nauseous. I had it with #1 but not with #2. all pregnancies are 100% different.
also, the u/s thing? IJC.
by far one of the most ridiculous things I've read on here.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
