MFM Appt. Next Week

AJCagle82 · November 2013

Well, I'm supposed to have a maternal fetal medicine appointment on Tuesday. I'm hoping I don't have to reschedule due to possible work stuff. I'm a little nervous about going and about what they might say. My doctor thinks it's important that I go before I get pregnant again (fingers crossed). She wants them to have a meeting and check me out to have a baseline while I'm not pregnant. I'm scared that they are going to tell me something awful and equally as scared that they won't be able to tell me anything. Is that crazy? My tests results after losing Parker show that there is no reason this should happen again, but in my head all I hear is that there is no reason it shouldn't happen again either. I know that is such a negative way to view things, but I feel like I'm preparing for the worst because we've experienced it. I don't want to get my hopes up.

I keep thinking how far along I should be right now. I should be due in two weeks. I should be as big as a house and waddling everywhere I go. What I would give to be experiencing that right now. I miss my little girl so much. Hugs to all the mommas on this board.

I'm so sorry your feeling nervous about going to your appointment. I know that they will do everything in their power to make sure you don't have to suffer this again. I am currently waiting to go to my 6 week checkup in two weeks and I'm anxious because they will be doing blood work I me to find out why this has happened to me again. I am nervous as well for the results because if they come back and nothing was wrong then what do you do? But I know that you will be fine as well as the rest of us here. We all will be waddling around the house soon enough!!

Hugs my dear

I have an appt today with an MFM, and am a little nervous as well. I am trying to relax by telling myself that these people are the experts, and know how to help me (and you, and us all!) have a successful pregnancy in the future. GL at the appt. and I will update about mine to hopefully help ease any nerves you might still have!

My apt. Went fine- we just met with the dr and talked about what happened. He have us his assurance that there's nothing that could have been done. Then he addressed all of our questions which were pretty much focused around why did this happen, what can we do to minimize the chances of it happening again, are my chances of it happening again increased, and how will my prenatal care be different in the future.

It was nice to talk to another Dr. And get a fresh point of view. I hope your appointment goes well and the dr is able to put your mind at ease

I think it's normal to want nothing to be wrong and something to be wrong all at the same time. I've gone for blood work for various blood and genetic disorders and I get the results on the 5th. I feel exactly the same way. At one end knowing something is wrong means something can be done to prevented it but knowing nothing is wrong means it shouldn't happen again. Its such a double edge sword.

I got a phone call late today. As it turns out, I will have to reschedule my appointment with the MFM doctor. I hate that I have to do that, but there is a course that is only offered twice a year on the same day as my original appointment. I hate having to balance potential work with pregnancy management. I need to get both things done. I'm still on the job search and this class will help generate some income until I can find something steady. I'll keep everyone posted on when I actually go to the doctor. Hopefully it will be soon.

@kz's_girlygirl I'm glad your appointment went well and the doctor was able to answer your questions!
