for a permission slip to electively let someone deliver my baby next week.
We're flying back to KS for Christmas, so I scheduled my 4D U/S at the same place I had one done last year with DS. I thought it would be fun if my family could come since I've been in CA for this pregnancy. I called my OB's office to ask for them to fax over the permission slip and I've had to talk to 3 people in her office about it already. The conversation ended with her nurse saying, "Well, I'm going to have to talk to your doctor about this and see if it's something we can give permission for."
Re: 4D U/S. My doc's office acts like I'm asking
Its an U/S...not a freakin vag inspection!
Goodness gracious!
I guess I didn't realize it was a big deal. Where we moved from, most of the pregnant women I've known have gotten one. My last OB is the one who recommended it so my family could be a part of the fun.
The nurse seemed completely befuddled, was silent for a good 10 seconds and also asked, "Will your insurance cover this?"
It's like I'm living in the 19th century here.
I suppose I may have to. It's like my OB's office had never heard of a 4D before.
Do you think this is cause to worry? Lol.
Exactly. How strange. There are lots of women who DO get regular U/S due to problems during their pregnancies. This will be my 3rd and final one for this pregnancy. I had several more with DS because I consistently measured 4-5 weeks behind toward the end.
What the?!? I don't understand.
Wow, I've never heard of having to get permission for the 3D/4D ultrasound.
I have an appt. this Wed. with the doctor, and my elective US on the 29. I guess I better ask.
;/
I don't get why your regular OB would be liable for anything that happens at an elective u/s! That's just stupid to me... all a 4d u/s is that's different, is a different wand!
I dunno. . . . pretty stupid if you ask me. I had previously had 2 sonograms at my OB's office showing a healthy baby, so it wasn't like this was my first one. My OB's office did end up giving me another sono last week, which is great, but it wasn't a 3D/4D and she was moving so fast that I couldn't make out ANYTHING other than a foot. Lame.
Oooh. Perfect. Thanks!
