8 Week Update and OBGYN Follow Up
By mogchi » Posted Mar. 26, 2015 11:29am - 550 views - 6 comments
Ok, not sure how to start this one....but I saw the OBGYN Monday, and of course when I got there I stopped spotting. He saw the ER report and came in and said he didn't know why I was there to see him, I explained that the ER doctor said I could still miscarry and to make a follow up appointment. He said "Well the report looks fine, but I will do an ultrasound to show you the baby is fine". So he showed me the heartbeat and said everything looks normal. Then he did a visual down there and said everything is normal and there is no sign of bleeding and the cervix is closed. Ok. I asked about progesterone and he said there is no need because everything is normal and great. He also said cramping is normal because my uterus is expanding. He seemed annoyed that I was so worried, but oh well, that is my job! I gotta keep this baby alive!
Well the next day I started spotting a tiny bit again, and then yesterday I over did it and went shopping for my husband's upcoming birthday party and waited in long lines standing. I felt so tired I wanted to cry. When I got home I had to wash my underwear because of more spotting. So that night I just laid down the whole time only getting up to pee or eat. I am off the next 3 days so I will take it easy. I left a message for the nurse to let her know I am still spotting brown lightly but I really don't think I need to worry. I have gotten to the point where I am mostly used to seeing it so I don't freak out. Maybe this is normal for me. I have heard so many women tell me they spotted or bleed the whole pregnancy and had a healthy baby. The cramping is pretty much minimal, but after standing a lot yesterday I cramped a lot. I think it's my body's way of telling me to take it easy. I promised baby I would rest the next 3 days and to hang in there. Talking to my little scorpion helps. It's weird but it does seem to calm the cramps. Maybe it calms me in return.
Symptoms this week haven't been crazy....
light spotting, brown-reddish in color
light cramps
physically tired easily
slight bloating
breast tender
breast size increasing still
very slight frequent urination, not like it used to be
acne breakouts
very very slight nausea here and there but I barely notice it

 | Comment from Julia01 » Posted Mar. 28, 2015 1:37pm It also sounds like to me U need a new OB , he should not be annoyed with any questions or concerns you have at all , doesn't matter if he thinks it is the silliest question in the world. It is his job as a OB to make sure everything is going smoothly . Pregnant women need that reassurance especially if pass losses are involed. Take it easy for a few days and prop your feet up drinks lots of water. Hopefully you are feeling better today . |

| Comment from ThatNerdyMartinLady » Posted Mar. 27, 2015 6:52am He may have been annoyed at the ER doctor, but he still should have been more understanding given your history. Sounds like he needs to work on his bedside manner! I'm so so glad to hear your little one is doing well! |
| Comment from stillfuntryin » Posted Mar. 26, 2015 7:13pm I bled a lot in the first Tri, also the placenta is taking over soon so progesterone isn't as important, so there really is no point in starting now, my OB was very straight forward but very funny, I trusted his opinion and his approach and my little man may not have been here if it weren't for him. | |
 | Comment from stickybean1976 » Posted Mar. 26, 2015 3:41pm Sounds like you need a new OB it's there job to make you feel better and reasure you after miscarrages. He's sounds rude and unsympathetic. My OB gave me what ever I asked for to reasure me. He tested my HCG levels as many times as I wanted and progesterone levels. He gave me clomid when I asked even though it wasn't necessary. (I was monitored) My point is this OB should be doing anything and everything to reasure you and make you feel better after your m/c. Even if that means baby aspirin and progesterone they do no harm. I even got weekly u/s for peace of mind after my 4 losses. Hope you are feeling a little better today :-) |
