Update on my appt today.

I am ridiculously frustrated. I got to my appt today and an u/s tech I'd never seen came to get me from the waiting room. I specifically told her I was supposed to have a fFN test today and that I couldn't have an internal beforehand. She told me to go do my urine/BP/weight with the nurse while she figured it out.

She came back and told me she was going to go ahead with u/s. I assumed this meant it had been cleared by my OB. She did the scan with me watching and was measuring it really weird and in different places than the other scans I've had. She made one measure from the TOP of the funnel in my cervix. There's no effing cervix left there stupid, you have to start at the bottom of the funnel. So, she tells me my cervix is 4.8 cm. I'd love to be overjoyed by this, but it's never been that long. I was freaking 2.6 cm last week, come on now.

So, then afterwards, I go to see my OB and she says we can't do the fFN test because I had the internal, but since my cervix is so long she's not worried about it. I didn't want to sound like I was questioning the u/s tech so I didn't say anything. I have another cervical length and growth scan at my MFM office tomorrow. If the number I get back from them is anything less than 3 cm, I'm going to call the OB and let her know because I think it should be known. I'm so, so frustrated.

Afterwards, I spent the last 5 hours at the hospital while my FIL got his surgery to get the chemo port put in and now I'm having contractions. I am not a happy camper right now at all.

Sorry tl;dr. /vent

This is my siggy. Love it.

    Ugh!! I think it's really important that if your cervix is less than a 3, that you call and let your OB now. The level 2 ultrasounds at my MFM were always so much better. Hope tomorrow goes better.sorry to hear about your fIL.  You need to put your feet up and rest for a bit :) let us know how tomorrow goes! :)

    The same thing happened to me around 28 wks.  The next time I went back to the OB, she was very frustrated at the whole situation and all I could do was take a deep breath and scream when I got in the car.  : )

    I'm glad that you have an MFM apt tomorrow. Give us an update when you get back.  Hold tight Venus....you've been through the ringer lately and you'll be able to look back soon with your three little ladies safe and sound.

    I am glad you only have to wait until tomorrow to have an appointment with the MFM.  I would be frustrated too.

    Ugh, how frustrating!!!

    I would be super pissed as well, and I agree that you should call tomorrow if the MFM has different measurements.  

    Hang in there!  And next time, speak up lady!  You've probably had a bajillion internal u/s by now, so you know when something is wonky.  If something feels off, then say something next time for sure.

    I'm sorry about your FIL - and try to get some rest!

    WOW thats pretty crappy.  I would call your OB tomorrow anyway and le thtem know of your concern and that the tech was suppose to find out about doing the ultrasound or not.  Let them know she F'D up.

    Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.  Keep your feet up and relax as much as you possible can.

    Good Luck

    How frustrating!!  Good thing you have an appt with the MFM today.  If those u/s results are different from those at your OBs (which it sounds like they will be), definitely call your OB.  Even have your MFM send over their results.  Your OB is trusting that u/s tech's measurements to make decisions about your care, and that u/s tech obvioulsy is not up to par.
