Had my first appt with new doctor while I’m in Georgia still and she’s sending me to a specialist ultrasound next week 🤔 I’m wondering why my first doctor didn’t do the same and didn’t inform me of my potential risk of preterm labor...
@amw322 Usually when you have a underlying issue they also have you see a specialist jointly. But, obviously dependent on the doctor. Maybe they will just check you out only this one time.... I take baby aspirin for pre e from last pregnancy but they claim it helps with the overall condition of the placenta and high blood pressure (which I didn't have but u was spilling protein). I remember a few ladies with other issues not related to pre e were prescribed the same, so it was a presumption for your condition. Let us know, im no doc lol
@angelfoodcake, really? She never declared me high risk or anything. What does the baby aspirin do? Will do thanks.
@amw322 Okay that makes total sense, you should be seeing a fatel specialist along with your primary obgyb. Sounds like she's being more proactive. I wonder if they may prescribe you baby aspirin once daily until delivery? Seems like they do it with a lot of underlined issues... Keep us informed. Well wishes.
@angelfoodcake, I have hypothyroidism and I just found out that it’s linked to preterm birth around 35 weeks or even delivering closer to 37 weeks rather than 40
@amw322 what makes her think you have a possibility of going into pre term labor though?
Have you had a preterm delivery before ?

Me and my princess first time getting epidural and I’m numb from legs is this normal i can’t walk good yet
My baby didn’t come on his due date😢 idk why my doctor just won’t induce me..I’m just ready to see my boy 😒
Any mommas on here Nurses ??
I have a question
I had a doctor appointment today and I’m a bit confused with what my doctor told me and what the papers say
Can I have everyone’s opinions on me being 5cm dilated 50% effaced my cervix is high but the baby’s head is there and I wasn’t sent to labor and delivery. My mom is taking me cause she thinks it wasn’t right that my dr didn’t send me over to the hospital so she wants me looked at again. I THINK my dr stripped my membrane but I’m not sure(I say I’m not sure cause she says things and then I’m not sure what she meant she did or didn’t do and I don’t ask but she said “let’s see if we can change that...
@angelfoodcake, will do! Thanks though
