Hi ladies, just wanted to check in with some positive news, I had my scan yesterday and saw our little rainbow baby kicking it's tiny arms and legs, and heard the heartbeat which was 175. Got pictures and everything!

It was a beautiful day. We are all so blessed to be celebrating our rainbow BFP's, let's keep a PMA and watch the scans keep rolling in! :flower:

Click to expand...

was your scan abdominal or transvag?
 
Finally think I got my insurance stuff sorted. They said it can take up to 10 days to process tho :dohh: So I still may not be able to attend my new scheduled appointment.
 
Darlin, what a mess, I can't imagine that! Glad you got it all straightened out though. Don'thca just love how they give themselves 2 weeks to process things! I'm assuming they mean 10 business days. I hope it all works out for you to go to your scan.
 
hopin im glad you got see bub! I was going to pay for a private because due to insurance taking forever I wont see ob until at least 11 weeks though I want to push it to 12. I was wondering if they can see a lot n abdominal this early.
Darlin yeah!!! im going through the same thing my first apt was supposed to be almost 2 weeks ago now if all goes well on the insurance end it will be when im 11 or 12 weeks!!
 
It is frustrating. I need to be seen. I have other health issues that make prenatal care a priority (or it should). She said on the phone that the processing team already has my paperwork so here's to hoping.

:blush: I probably should not have done this but I sent a "positive" complaint to the midwives. I said I love them but am not a fan of the new office staff. They aren't friendly or very helpful. I spent 30min trying to figure out what I could do and had to find out through my insurance company that there is a billing number they can take. The receptionist NEVER mentioned that. Unfortunately the billing number wasn't working properly (my insurance's fault not theirs). I just couldn't believe how unwilling they were to help me though. The receptionist was not friendly either. I said I am trying really hard to like the office switch but it's hard and I am hoping it will be ok once I get to see the midwives again. There is nothing that irks me more than unpleasant office staff.
 
im actually using a new ob specialist due to the mcs and I tend t have early labor symptoms so I am a slightly higher risk. I also need a rhogam shot like last week but the office staff are making this harder. I actually asked to speak to the midwife or ob nurse when I called they said ok and hung up!!! by the time I got t leave a message I ended up waiting until Monday to receive a call back.
 
We have also decided to go with a whole new team this time around since the loss of our son. I am feeling hopeful, this new doctor seems very nice and warm. He also offered his personal cell so I am not left with out answers as we progress. That made me feel SO much better :)
 
Wow, so much bureaucratic headaches going on! It seems we're all being affected in some way. I really hope it all gets sorted in soon. Yeesh. Our little one's lives are stake.

hopin - congrats on having such a wonderful scan!

florida - I think by 8 weeks they should be able to see enough by abdominal. I had a major bleed with DS at about 8 1/2 weeks and they were able to easily find his heart beat with abdominal and do all the measurements that they needed to. The only times I needed transvaginal at that point were the pregnancies that were not going well. however, if you have a tilted uterus, then I think it is much later before they can see anything.

I am also having a new OB staff this time. The main reason is that I moved to area 7 months pregnant so I had to get someone very last minute and they only took me on because I NEEDED a doctor. I have to get referred to an OB by my GP so I don't really have a say. With the last pregnancy my doctor asked who I had had before and was going to refer me to them. But this summer I saw a different OB to get some m/c testing. So now my GP just refered me to her for my pregnancy. I think I"m really going to like this OB. She seems to be a bit brisk and more business-oriented than friendly, but she also seems professional and thorough. It would be a good fit for me.
 
Too many posts to keep up! That's good though.

FL and someone else I'm sorry I forgot who (and it's on last page out of scroll range) thank you for thoughts wishes about my mom. FL, I hope your parents ended up being OK after those scares? 2 at once is way worse! At least with my mother it's not really a surprise - she's a lifelong heavy smoker - and at least with treatments she is having a sortof OK quality of life now. Many people have it worse. Even if she does beat the odds and hold out until baby is born she'll have to hold on even longer as she's out in CO and I'm in ME. But I think mostly she is relieved that DH and I were even trying for a baby (this was when I told her about it the last time, which m/c but anyway) - she seemed to have convinced herself that she had somehow scarred me for life about motherhood so and that I wasn't ever going to have kids and it was kindof her fault. Really, though, I'm just a proctrastinator and also kept forgetting I wasn't in my 20s anymore! :) DH too. I told her about this pregnancy last night and that went well.

I'm so sorry for all of you who are dealing with insurance nonsense. It's ridiculous what a maze that whole system is! I hope you all get things sorted out soon.

Also totally agree about receptionists/office staff - they make such a difference because they're basically the gatekeepers! I think the midwives' practice got a new main receptionist which is a relief - the previous one was nice a little over a year ago when I had my first pregnancy and lost and then earlier this summer was pretty much of a b__ but this month when I've called she has never answered the phone and the person who has is much nicer. Thank goodness. @Darlin I think it's good you put in a complaint - it's important for the midwives/doctors to know!
 
I agree about the office staff, it's the primary reason I no longer go to my OB. Her receptionist was beyond rude. Especially after my miscarriages. :nope:
 
Wow lots happening!

I am very grateful that where I live visiting the doctor is a no questions asked scenario... I just go when I feel I need to.... Such a blessing, I can't imagine having to sort out all the craziness that so many ladies here have had to deal with :wacko:

It's wonderful to hear the happy scan stories! I can't wait to change my only scan experience into a more positive memory (my only scan was at 12 weeks with our mmc and although I wasn't told then that the baby had passed, I knew that it must have because of the way the tech was,,. And not listening to the heart beat, or that she didn't show me the pictures).

I keep praying for everyone here to have wonderful first scans of their rainbow babies :)
 
Scared out of my wits ladies and I could use a good dose of hope right now...I just started getting crampy/achey feelings in my lower back and belly, and I've been wiping really dark brown/light pinkish-brown cm for a half hour. Trying to think positive and hope this is just another scare like I've had with my other pregnancies but it feels like my hopefulness from early on in this pregnancy is slowly seeping out. :cry:

I'm so scared this is over and I'm going to m/c for an 8th time...:nope:

And of course it's late friday night so I won't even be able to get ahold of a doctor until Monday morning.

AND it's my daughter's 2nd birthday today....

Trying to hold it together for a little while longer til she goes to bed. Then I'm crawling into :sleep: myself and hopefully tomorrow will dawn brighter, happier, and blood/cramp free. FX for me, please? I'm SO very very scared right now...:cry:
 
:hugs: Dairymomma but at least it is brown :thumbup: That is supposed to be better than any other color.

Mil got the ok to do our scan this weekend from her office :happydance: Now we are trying to go back early enough tomorrow so she can take us i before bil and sil get there with the baby so she can do it :D
 
dairmomma I'm so sorry!!! how are you this morning? brown and pink can be okay, I had it with my last pg and was told it was text book since it was the placenta embedding. fingers crossed for you!
