So, I finally got all my dr records from my ob/gyn (6 week appt) and from the hospital from when I was admitted during my mc. The first time I met my ob/gyn was at my 6 week appt. She took basic med history, looked at my vitals, then did a transvaginal u/s. I explained to her that 15 years ago I had a conization of my cerviz, and I was told then that if I ever got pregnant, I needed to be aware that the conization could cause pregnancy complications, such as incompetent cervix..
So, at my first appt, I made her aware of that, and she said dont worry, Ill take a look at your cervix right now, so she did, and said it looked normal. She then showed me my little angel on the u/s monitor, and said she heard the heartbeat. She then said something like looks good, but I still suggest you wait 4 more weeks, which is your next scheduled u/s, before sharing the news with others. I replied yes, of course, we were planning on waiting til the end of first trimester before tell everybody (which is a white lie, OF COURSE I/we had already told my parents, both brothers, my sil, my mil, a couple cousins I am very close to, and of course they quietly shared the news with others). However, we really were planning to wait before telling the rest of my extended family, our co-workers, etc.
Anyways, back then when she told me that, it sounded strange to me, but I tried to shrug it off--I really did. Fast forward 3 weeks from that first appt, and I had my mc. Now that Ive read so many stories on this website, I really do think that I had a missed mc, and that my angel must have passed away shortly after my first 6 week appt, because, when I passed my angel, it didnt look like it should have, had I really been 10 weeks along. It really looked like maybe it was smaller and less defined, at least it looked different than what I thought it should have looked like at that point (u know, like all those pictures on the internet that show weekly progress)
So, based on her comment, and my angel looking smaller than I expected, I was curious to see my medical records and see what she had noted on my chart, wondering if she suspected a mc from the very beginning, based on the heartbeat and maybe other signs? Well, I dont see a heartbeat noted, and there are some weird acronyms, and I'm wondering
if by any chance, anybody knows what these highlighted abbreviations mean? I hate calling her office; it took long enough getting my chart record copies and they make me feel like I am bothering them (HELLO, they are MY medical records, and I have a RIGHT to get copies of MY medical records, right?) and I changed medical providers so I dont have to deal with her office anymore!
Anyways, if anybody knows what these acronyms mean, I would be much obliged
