A little advice? (long, sorry)

OK.. so as you know, this is my 4th pregnancy.  After my 3rd m/c, my reg OB sent me to a perinatologist to run some tests to find out the whys.  A week and a half after my appt with him, I got my +hpt.  Now that I am pregnant, they both consider me high risk, so I will be under both doctors care. 

I know the drill with my regular OB, I have asked my questions and what not, but this pregnancy will be different, since the perinatologist will be the primary doctor giving direction to the OB.  (have I lost you yet?  My mind is in a million places right now).  I just got off the phone with the peri office, and they told me to allot at least 3 hours for my appointment on Tuesday, but when I asked what to expect, the girl was vague.  I am assuming labs,u/s,pelvic and whatnot,  but she didn't know.

That doesn't really matter, I will do whatever they want.  I have been compiling a list of questions to ask the doctor, and I am afraid I have missed something.  Does any one have suggestions on what I need to discuss, or maybe site for a list? I already have the obvious ones.  Has anyone else had experience as a high risk pregnancy that might could shed some light so I know what to expect?

On the other hand, I am so excited to see the u/s and heartbeat.  The last u/s I went to measured 4w1d, which is impossible, because that would mean I got a +hpt 3 days after conception, so I am anxious to see what I measure now.  I think I am closer to 7 weeks based on that.  I am also scared that because I measured so small 11 days ago, that something is just plain wrong, but I am hoping that it was just too early and the measurements were off.  Everything else seems to be going good right now.  No real spotting since last weekend, just a light brown discharge which doesn't scare me as bad.  I have already hit so many more milestones this pregnancy, making me believe that this is the one!!!!  It's just gotta be!

Thanks again.  I am sorry that I am so long winded... being at home all day alone with orders to keep my feet up and relax is getting old and lonely. Y'all have a great day!

Again, no advice, but I'm glad you're getting good care. Follow the doctor's orders and try to keep focusing on the positive.

Hang in there, SuthrnBelle!  Hopefully after your appointment with the peri, you'll have a better idea of how things will work at appointments and you'll get the results you're looking for (dating u/s, etc.). I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
