Pregnant after a Loss

Should I be nervous?

I just got a call from my OB's office.

They said "not to alarm you, but the doctor has reviewed your chart and wants to reschedule your appointment to be with him as opposed to his PA".

So, of course, I am alarmed.

I am thinking that it is just because I have had 2 first trimester losses and it is my 8 week appointment.

There wouldn't be something in my ultrasound that they wouldn't have told me, right?  There was a SMALL SCH, so maybe he wants to talk about that?

There wouldn't be bad news that I wouldn't have heard already, right?

    This would be guess too. Try not to stress (I know easier said then done)

  • I have no idea if it's cause for alarm... maybe he just wants to see you since this would be "graduation" appt??

    I think if there was bad news they are legally obligated to tell you, they can withhold that information.  Good luck and keep us posted!

  • I'd go with you've had 2 first trimester losses and he's covering his bases. When is your appt? Can you call back and just explain that you're alarmed and get in faster? Just to ease your worries?

  • I would imagine it is because of the previous losses, like you said.  If they saw something not right, they wouldn't be having you wait until your regularily scheduled appt.

  • My bet is that is that it is any number of the things you mentioned. In my experience, when it is something more serious the nurse or PA calls to give you a heads up. 

    I will definitely be thinking of you. ((hugs))

  • I think that if it was something serious and urgent they would have wanted you to reschedule asap.  Don't worry, just be excited that you get to see your doctor and he is wanting to stay involved in the care of your pregnancy!

  • Don't stress.  On my first appt, I had the PA tell me that because of my prior loss, I was outside her level of expertise and would only be seeing the dr going forward.  Not that all PAs are the same, but I would say they just want to make sure you are in the best hands.  T&Ps to you.

  • ick, what a stressful call to hear. But I am with you---I'm betting it's just because the MD wants to be the one to personally 'graduate' you and give you good news.

  • I wouldn't, they didn't move your appt up or give you any indication on the phone (which they would be required to do). I had 2 first tri losses and besides the really long appt where they do all the questions w/ the nurse, I've seen my doc for everything else where they usually shuffle the first couple off to the NP. Plus they probably assume you will be nervous and will be more reassured by your doctor than a PA and your doc is probably more prepared to answer Pgal type questions.

    I think it is probably just that he noticed you've had 2 prior losses and wants to reassure you in person rather than having the PA do it.  If there was something bad in the u/s they should have told you a lot sooner.

    I agree.

  • I would guess it is because after reviewing your chart and seeing your history that it would be better for you to see him so he can discuss everything with you! Try not to worry and I'm sure everything will be just fine! GL at your appt :)
  • Thank you all so much!

    I feel a ton better now.  I kind of figured it was just because he wants to stay involved, but with the nightmare of the last few months it is hard to believe it is for a good reason, like someone ACTUALLY caring :)
