I am about 8 months post op and Im 9 weeks pregnant . I have a Small subchorionic hemorrhage And Have been bleeding ever since I found out I was pregnant which is Very Scarey. I havent seen my dr since I was 6 weeks pregnant and my next apt isnt untill oct 29th. My question is With me being only 8 months post Rny and Having bleeding issues should I be Seen more often, should I switch to a high risk ob? Ive had 2 ultra sounds one at 4 weeks and one at 6 1/2 weeks I saw a heart beat it was 150. But With me bleeding and My morning sickness gone Some days I wonder if the baby is still alive..I hate the waiting game!!!!!!

do ur doc know ur post op??? Morning sickness comes n goes and if you feel like ur doc isnt  meeting ur needs and satisfying you then u maybe should find another doc. did u ask to be referred to a high risk doc??? call and ask and u know u can always go to the e.r.

I bled through my first trimester almost constantly, and a fair amount. They saw me every other week, but my Dr explained that it wasn't because they needed to see me, but because they were more concerned with my mental health. (because it is scary!!)
The Dr explained that there isn't much they can do at this point, so the extra appointments in my case were for the mother. If you think you should see your doctor more often, ask for another appt, or a referral. Alot of doctors aren't aware of gastric bypass complications/precautions until you bring them up.

My first appointment was at 7 weeks and I was having some spotting. I questioned them about this because with my first pregnancy I had one and I ended up with a miscarriage (not saying that is going to happen, not wanting to freak you out more than you already are) They automatically said that they wanted to give me an ultrasound. I had one. The doctor put me on bed rest for a week and I had to go in for an ultrasound every wee****il it eventually bled out. It was all brown old blood. Is yours all brown?  The next week it was a lot smaller and then the following week it was all gone. 
I hope that all goes well with you. I know how scary it is not knowing. I know how hard it is to relax about it. I would be calling the doctor and getting another ultrasound.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers

Its mostly brown blood but somedays its red some days its pink and some days theres nothing at all.. Its so Stressfull. Im thinking about buying a sonoline b doppler so I can hear the heart beat at home.. That way im not calling my dr every week I dont want her thinking Im a nut case lol. But Im calling her today to see if I can go in for another ultra sound Just to ease my mind Thanks for everyones thoughts and replies.

It may be to soon to hear it on the doppler. I think most of the time the soonest they can hear it on those is around 11 weeks. Correct me if I am wrong.  They should be doing more to help you.
