    And yes, "FFS" I've mentioned it a lot in this post, but no one seems to give a shit about anybody but themselves so you're all right. I should just move on and not try to worry about my or my family's future and their health care. Whatevs.
    Wait, what? We don't care about anyone but ourselves? Because we aren't as upset over an ER visit as you?

    You did what you felt was best for you. That's really all you can do. Don't mind rude people. They seem to be all over this forum. I don't understand it. Good luck! I'll send good vibes your way.

    I don't think people are saying it's wrong to visit the ER or intentionally trying to be rude, but if you go to the ER every time something weird happens in pregnancy, you'll be there all the time. And that would get incredibly stressful! Usually the night service at the OB is very reassuring, as they'll tell you specifically what to do for your situation. I've called many times, and always felt better afterwards. They're YOUR doctors, and they know you. Use them.

    Plus there's no co-pay! ;)


    Not every obgyn offers a night service. Some have a recorded message that say to go to the ER...

    But it can be an ectopic pregnancy which can be fatal. Also large amounts of bleeding with miscarriage can become dangerous due to anemia. I think it is not inappropriate to go to the ER for pelvic pain and bleeding in the first trimester.

    If they don't have one, that's really not good. I've never had a doctors' office that didn't have a night service. My OB, Endo, GP, and urologist ALL have a service.

    @ladyjulieblue‌ Yep! I found the Ignore button yesterday. I'm using it to its fullest potential. I hope I don't break it. Hahaha

    @asfoxworth‌ How are you feeling? Has your bleeding stopped? Did you get in to see your OB?

    I went to the ER with my first pregnancy at 7 weeks for bleeding and cramping. If I was miscarrying I wanted to know. Here, I had a blood clot in my uterus with baby. They put me on bedrest and watched the blood clot throughout the pregnancy. Now 7 years later I have a healthy 1st grader. Good luck and take it easy!

    So if this happens, should we or shouldn't we go the the ER? I'm confused.

    PS not trying to come off as rude, I'm just at a total fucking loss at how many people misuse the ER. It's absolutely insane. Good luck to you on your appt with OB

    I hear that you're not trying to come off as rude, but you sure succeeded! She used the ER for exactly what she was supposed to, and it is not for you to judge her. I too am frustrated by skyrocketing insurance costs, but taking it out on this scared mama is not the way to go. 

    This is not necessarily true. OBs will tell you what to do and when to go to the ER. If her OB didn't tell her to go to the ER, she really shouldn't go again.

    Again, not blaming her, I just wouldn't do it again without talking to the OB. Regardless of the delivery, which I agree was not the best, she does have a point. Especially if it's just spotting and not even bleeding. They will most likely call it a threatened miscarriage.


    And thank you for agreeing that I have a point even though you don't agree with my delivery.


    ********Edit quote box fail and grammar********


    If she has insurance and pays her copy who gives a fuck if she went to the ER. That why they have a triage system. If someone comes in with a more dire situation they just have her sit and wait. Youre pretty fucking rude. Any bleeding during pregnancy is scary and with my miscarriage I went to the ER twice. It's not like she's some cracked out junkie with "back pain".

    Oh bleeding has stopped and they could not determine the source of it. A new fibroid 4cm was found they will be monitoring it. I go back in two weeks for another sonogram and 8 week OB visit.

    Well...I'll say this as a nurse and mother, only you know your body if something doesn't feel right you have the right to get help. I am ecstatic that everything worked out for the best for you. Yes, there's other places you can go to besides the ER that you dont pay co-pay, yes there is your OB, yes insurance premiums are high, but you have a right like everyone else for medical attention, premiums are not high because someone goes to the ER but because people go and don't pay. I've read the entire post and some replies and shake my head, on that note let me say with my first pregnancy I had brown discharge and ER and L&D said it was just pregnancy pains it was frustrating for my coworkers and I. Until one day I went in and refused to leave I asked for a CT scan and extensive lab work, my results were that not only did I have a rare bleeding disorder but my placenta was peeling, everything ended up ok and had a healthy 8lb 13.1oz boy but guess what I knew something wasn't right and everyone was skeptical and rude. My story is to serve as an example that what goes for you doesn't necessarily goes for me, and I can see where you were concerned due to your fibroid removal. GL

    I went to the ER last Sunday because of cramping and bloody discharge.... at that time was 6wks and 1 day... and was NOT diagnosed as a threatend miscarriage but a Subchorionic Hemorrhage.... (and if it had been a miscarriage then I would have been told what to expect... and that if i passed tissues I could have them sent to pathology and find out the reason for miscarriage... without that ER visit I never would have known I could do that) after leaving I had peace of mind unlike when I called the oncall OB and she VERY rudely told me it sounded like a miscarriage and just to prop up my feet there was nothing I could do... and had no intentions on calming my fears... my husband and I have waited 4 1/2 yrs for this pregnancy and I very well will be at the ER at anypoint I feel necessary. so asfoxworth, I completely understand your scare and wish you all the best... and for those worried... I too paid my copay that night before even being seen.....

    How are newly pregnant women even supposed to know that they shouldn't go to the ER with bleeding because nothing can be done? For all they know, there could be something the doctors could do to help.

    With my miscarriage I was in hospital at Christmas Eve. I needed intravenous painkillers and someone to check that it wasn't an ectopic pregnancy.

    I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of these terribly rude and insensitive comments. I hope you are doing better now. I would have done the exact SAME THING. I actually called my OBGYN last week and asked if I saw ANY bleeding of any sort, should I go to the ER? And she said absolutely yes.
