Well we got there and were taken back to this little room to wait. I was weighed and Gained 6 lbs in my 7 weeks of pregnancy, According to the little twisty circle I am 7w1d. They took a whole history asked a zillion questions, the nurse could see I was a bit upset so she asked what it was and I explained that with being a bypass patient they made it sound as if I needed high risk OB care ASAP and now I wasn't even getting an exam or a sono or anything. She went on to explain yes I am high risk and will be needing to be handled differently but more in a blood work and developmental way and the only reason I was getting so much blood work and sono care last time is becouse by 5 weeks it was already a threatened MC. She said it is much worse for me to stress then it is to just let things progress and wait for something to come up and she would answer all the questions she would have to in order to make things better for me. Why no visit or checking until 8 weeks? Becouse up to 8 weeks things are so delicate in there they don't want to take chances in disrupting the settling in process. Then HOW can you know it's okay in there if no one cares to check?..Blood work can tell them everything they need to know in the first 8-10 weeks, hcg,progesterone,vitamin levels ect. Okay what about the spotting well not spotting realy but discharge? Most likley it is related to fluid intake, If a woman is dehydrating sometimes that is how the body reacts and once they up fluids everything is fine and many women experience this with no harm at all to the pregnancy. Well okay but what if it's not okay then what how will I know if it is dehydration or MC ? If I see the discharge , as soon as I leave the restroom drink 32 oz of room temp water in 15-20 min and then lay down for 1 hour , when I get up if there is nothing then it was a fluid issue, If the discharge has doubled or turned to red blood then head to the ER. So I pee every 30 min and puke whenever I get near anything resembling food and thats ALL I have to show for being pregnant no exam, no sono nothing?? Peeing is a very good sign , puking or as they like to call it morning sickness is related to hormone levels another good sign at this point focus on vitamins and fluids and we will address it again at your 10 week apt if it's still that much of a problem. They are taking 6 tubes of blood (HUH what 6 tubes, did i mention I detest needles?)and checking the hcg and progesterone levels and can reassure me Monday the numbers are good or adjust care as needed.(again ...needles?) So uhm what about the chance of twins, how can we know that? Back to the bloodwork , it will tell everything they need to know in the first 10 weeks. Then the woman asked me if I was able to give a urin sample, I said well I'm pregnant , I pee every half hour , my only problem with a sample is no one mentioned it or gave me a cup, she'll get me a cup Okay onto the blood work, obviously I lived through it, oh and wheres the urine sample...again no one will get me a cup, she will get me a cup , she takes me to the window to schedule the next appointments and this other girl asks me why i didn't drop a sample to be checked, so I informed her I been asked so many times about that sample and no cup so the next person who asked is gettin peed on cuz i'm not holding it much longer...lol Okay she says follow me I have cups. got the cup , dropped the sample to be dipped and got appointments. Feb 8th I will be going in at 10 weeks for my first official OB appointment for internal and fundus measurements and such. Feb 22 I will be going in at 12 weeks for my neural something sonogram they said it's not as important to know there is a baby in there (blood work references) but to know that the spinal cord has formed and connected to the brain and they can't see that till 12-14 weeks. Then the nurse was nice enough to assure me I am a normal healthy post MC over reactive caring mommy to be! Okay now I babbled way to much..lol Shel EDD 09/03/07
