anyone get a post-ultrasound call from your OB?

I'm tempted to freak out just a little. I just noticed a voicemail from my OB's medical assistant---she said she was calling about the results from my ultrasound. (We had our 18-week u/s yesterday and the tech who did the u/s said everything looks great. It's a girl!) So--I'm hoping my OB is calling just to confirm that all is well---but I'm wondering why they didn't just wait to tell me that at my next appointment. So, I'm tempted to freak out that they are calling bcs something may be wrong. Did you guys get a call from your OB just to confirm that all was well on your ultrasound?

 Just getting this worry off my chest!

    No but we also met back with her afterward and went over the results of where LO fell as far as his measurements and what not. So maybe that is what she is calling you about.

    I think every doctor is different.  Ours told us on Monday that he would call us by 7 if he thought anything was wrong, I have friends whose OB's do the opposite and call to reassure.  I would trust an OB/Radiologists opinion over the u/s tech. 

    Just relax, have some hot cocoa and call first thing tomorrow morning.  It's probably fine, maybe they need more pictures, didn't get what they need or want to confirm the tech's opinion.

    I would assume that it was because she didnt get all the necessary pictures and they need you to come back to more. I wouldnt assume the worst.

    I'm not trying to scare you, but yes i did get a call a week later saying that wanted to do another ultrasound because of a dilated kidney. The tech had mentioned it at the ultrasound though.

    They called me after my first, but not after my second.  Everything is probably fine, they just want to let you know.  I wouldn't worry about it at all!

    I had mine the other day and they called me back to have me come in again in a few weeks.  They were not able to get all of the views of the heart they needed b/c of his position.

    Thanks, ladies, for sharing your experiences. I talked to the office today and they need me to come back so they can get a better look at the bottom of her spine. Because of her position, they couldn't see it clearly.

    Magical95--so sorry to hear the news about the kidneys. Sending T&P your way for peace and that you find out soon that all is well. A friend of mine got similar results and as they monitored things, the problem resolved itself.
