Parenting after a Loss

My OB won't see me :(

I called and asked if they could get me in to do a quick scan and they said they would but I'd have to pay for it because the insurance won't cover it.  I asked if they'd write me a prescription for a doppler so I could get one through that program that rents out dopplers for free to women who have had a loss, and she said absolutely not because I'm not trained in using a doppler and she can't believe anyone would create that program.  So basically I have to wait until my appointment in 2.5 weeks.

  • you can buy a doppler for pretty cheap on ebay.com without a prescription. Mine worked great. I heard the heartbeat at 9 weeks.

    I had one w/ DS that I bought on ebay, but like an idiot I sold it on ebay after I got in my 3rd tri.  I should have kept it!  I just put a bid on another one on ebay!  It's different from the one I had last time, but it looks like it'll do the trick!

  • Did you ask if the nurse could do a doppler check for you.  My doc would do that for me because he didn't want me buying my own doppler because I wasn't "trained" to use it.  We also used the fact that my DH works at the ER and would come in and use theirs when I was feeling uneasy.

  • Is it possible to do an elective U/S? I had one done at a 3D place and it was only about $100.
