Depressing OB

Kay6519

Well I suppose my OB must not have any hope that this pg will not end in m/c. She reccommended that I schedule a D&C because she would prefer that the m/c end on her terms so she can be there to manage everything. But I am not comfortable going through with a D&C when there is still a chance that my little guy can make it. Idk what to do. Has anyone had any similar experiences or any advice on what to do? I know that the doctor knows alot more than I do about these things, but I kind of feel like she is giving up on my baby too soon. I really want this little one to make it. But at the same time I don't want to make things worse or more difficult for TTC in the future. =(

I'm sorry you're dealing with this.  OB's see healthy pregnancies and m/c on a regular basis and sometimes I think they forget that to you, this is YOUR pregnancy and you're not just a #.  The possibility of a m/c is heartbreaking and difficu

I'm sorry you're going through this. I refused a DC. After we were sure our little one was gone, I was given options.. wait it out, DC and the pill. I picked the pill. Have you requested that option?

I had the worst appointment of my life at my 6 week ultrasound, the Dr, told me I may miscarry 1 or both of my twins. I was in a rush that morning and no one asked had I ate, if I had did the same the next week I would have had the same result. I ate t

It's heartbreaking to hear you are going through this. I m/c'ed at 7w3d four years ago. I had some spotting and went in for an u/s. The baby had stopped developing at 5 weeks, and it took 2 weeks before my body was ready to start healing itself. I m/c'

Sheesh your OB sure is depressing!  Honestly sounds like they are after a paycheck or something.  If it were me I'd be troubled by "what if."  But you are definitely the only one that can make that decision and know what's best for you.
