Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Picked up my med records today

because I need to take them to the RE. I've spent the last hour pouring over them.  I was a little shocked to learn that the last time we had an u/s, when I was 8 weeks, I was only measuring 7 weeks 1 day.  I remember the dr. SPECIFICALLY telling me that I was measuring exactly at 8 weeks. I know it wouldn't change the results, but maybe I would have been a little more prepared for bad news. I would also think maybe they would have monitored me b/c I think the baby died around 8-9 weeks. Instead I walked around not know that my baby had died inside me for almost 4 weeks after.

  • I don't know if I would want to see my records. I think it might stir up a lot of what ifs for me.

    Yeah, it definitely stirs up a lot of emotions. I'm sneaky, though, b/c I'm sure dh would be upset that I am doing this to myself, but I can't help it.  He's not home yet.

    Hmmmm. I do know that being off by a week or less at that early stage isn't cause for concern at all, especially with a heartbeat, so try to not worry too much about it, because nothing probably would ahve changed. But I'd be freaking myself out too.

    This!  I would torture myself too!.  My hubby gets mad that I'm on this board all the time.  He thinks its unhealthy but you girls are all I have.

    My SO doesn't understand it either. He asked me last night, "Why are you still on there? Stop torturing yourself." I don't think he quite gets how much support you ladies have been for me.

  • I didn't see my records but when I was in L&D the nurse keep saying "I guess your doctors thought there might something wrong, they made notes about this in your file." I had a little spotting at the begining and was placed on bed rest for 5 days but nother other then that. And Why didn't my doctor tell me that!!! EEERR

  • I had a similar experience, but it was with LO's records. She was in the NICU for a month and then discharged and we took her home.  When we were at the pediatrician's office we read stuff in her paperwork that we had never heard of before.  It said "This was discussed with parents" but it never had been!  Maybe they just don't want to make you nervous in case it turns out to be nothing?  Then we had the opposite experience where the first pediatrician, upon meeting us and LO for the first time, basically just listed all of the health problems she had.  I was a wreck and was practically in tears, just hearing him say it, even though I already knew about it all.  I guess different doctors just have different ways of approaching things.
