I have my first high risk consult on Monday afternoon - can you ladies give me any advice on what to expect?? I have a blood clotting disorder - info is in siggy and I have been on Lovenox since the beginning of this pregnancy. Do you think I belong with a high risk OB?? Do you see the high risk OB in addition to your regular OB - is there any questions I should be asking on Monday?? TIA!!

Re: High Risk Consult on Monday - any advice??
I do not have any experience with your condition, so I am just speaking about seeing a high risk OB in general. It's really no different for me than seeing my regular OB except that I get u/s and cerivical checks at every visit (once a week). That probably varies depending on the patient and the reason you are being seen.
It sounds to me like you belong with one, but if nothing else, it gives you an opportunity to be monitored much more closely. Like I already said, I see both doctors...and I see both of them once a week. I am not going to lie, it is a little annoying to have to go twice a week to the doctor, but I like every opportunity I have to ask questions.
I don't know of any specific questions I would have in your position, but remember that there are NO dumb questions, so take advantage of the knowledge and expertise of your high risk dr (and your regular dr) and ask as many as you want! Good luck!
