Hey just got a call yesterday from the doctor. No uti.. No growth in the culture test so I'm all clear ! It's just that I am so impatient.. Look I have to confess I live in dubai and over here everything runs through insurance, and maternity is usually always covered by insurance.. You are ale to easily get to a clinic and almost always have an ultrasound with the ob gyn and not have to wait for weeks for an appointment. I have had that luxury and am always able to just pop in calling beforehand and get a scan. I have had quite a few already but I think I'm just driving myself nuts. My personal ob gyn who will deliver me wants to see me in four weeks but he is happy to give me a weekly scan for my peace of mind. Dh is against going every week and says that's just nuts. S I postponed my scan to the 18 th. was supposed to have on this Saturday. But ot going. I think I am overdoing it and I just keep worrying all the time about mmc. I don't know why.. Al this stress is seriously not good for sure.. I need to save myself lol !
 
It is almost as if I have to admit.. " hi I'm preethi" and I'm addicted to ultrasounds.. I'm sure if I lived in the uk or elsewhere where you do have a choice and only get 2-3 ultrasounds you're entire pregnancy , I wouldn't know any different.. But I'm spoilt here and I think I'm testing my own sanity.
 
Well we only get 2-3 ultrasounds.. and I am fine with it.. though if I could have one every week I would
 
I think we are very lucky to have the NHS even if it does mean we can't be seen as frequently xx
 
I'm sure you are and am definitely not saying anything against the NHS as it is a benefit for the people. I have had my share of horrible experiences with them being 16 weeks pregnant, bleeding lots red. Saturday night waiting 4 hours to see someone only t be told to go back and they'll call when they have a spot for a scan. I was on holiday. That has left a lasting impression , and I'm worried about moving back to the uk because although it is a wonderful service I think lots of drunk idiots seem to take the piss going in on weekends and because of the sheer volume of people in the uk at the moment, it becomes a bit difficult to be seen or treated with specialists etc. but otherwise I'm sure it's great. Xxx
 
Oh no hun, I wasn't suggesting you were knocking the NHS. You are right though, drunks and drug addicts are responsible for a lot of the waiting times and the fact that more money can't be deployed elsewhere.

It sounds harsh but if they saw every woman who bled/miscarried they wouldn't have time to see women whose pregnancies are progressing. I'm waiting myself to see if I've had a MMC but if I am seen sooner rather than later isn't going to change the outcome.

There has been a series on in the UK called 24 hours in the NHS (pretty self explanatory) but some of the things it has shown is mind boggling and if we had to pay for our own care there is no way people would be able to afford the kinds of revolutionary operations that are possible today.

The Doctors were pretty mean to my sister when she miscarried but I guess pregnancy is one of those things that our bodies are just "meant to do" and they prefer to save lives I guess.

To us women our unborn children mean the world to us but Doctors don't see it like that I don't think. They'd sooner use money and resource to save a preemie than interfere in a miscarriage and I guess I don't disagree.

That being said, the wait is killing me.

Sorry for the essay lol xx
 
I think drs need to care.. in that moment they do.. when a woman miscarries its the hardest part of her life.. her dreams are not coming true everything she imagined isn't going to happen.. I think a dr needs to be compassionate for that woman.. I don't know what I would have done had the er doc been a douche.. he was great.. my dr on the other hand not so much so I left and found a dr that cared..
 
My sister went to A&E miscarrying and the doctor said to her "don't you think you are just on your period". Very insensitive but like I said, it doesn't matter to them like it does us xx
 
That is terrible.. I realize it doesn't matter.. but drs need to remember were people and everyone needs to be treated the same
 
Yes they should and it was shocking the way she was treated but I think they become de-sensitised with seeing it all the time.

I find sonographers aren't very nice either, they do it all day every day, they forget its very special for the parents.

Our 12 scan with DD the woman wasn't very nice at all xx
 
That's what im going to school for.. :) I will def be nice.. that's why im going.. its my passion... and I have been through miscarriages.. I see things differently
 
That's great and I'm sure you'll be lovely.

I'd like to be a Midwife. I'm a little addicted to newborns so if I don't become a midwife I'm going to end up with 20 kids lol xx
 
lol and maybe your own tv show :)
 
I had a crazy rude sonographer with my daughters first scan...the dates were off since I have long cycles...so there wasn't a heartbeat yet and she was basically acting like the pregnancy wasn't viable and when I asked her for a picture (you could see a yolk sac and a fetal pole) she was so rude and said "why, you can't see anything" well it may not have been anythign to her, but it was my daughter...:grr:

anywho....my scan is TODAY!! At 3 pm est! So nervous/excited! Send some good vibes/prayers my way! :flower:
 
I had my repeat scan today, heartbeat present. Yay!

GL Dr G xx
 
Oh yay Nat !! That is awesome.. So at the end it was just that you're dates were off. Xxx lovely news .

Good luck Andrea x hope to hear from you soon
 
Thanks. Going by how baby is dated I found out 6 days after I conceived! But whatever the maths of it little heart was beating away and all seemed well so fX for a continuing pregnancy now xx
