You lost a baby and it was tragic and devestating and you want to do your best to make sure it doesn't happen again (despite the fact you have very limited control). I think if it makes you feel better to be proactive about your care, do it. No one is going to take extra care of you if you don't do it first.<br /><br />As for me, since believing in the power of nature and all that, I don't think I'd go for extra ultrasounds and monitoring just because there are precious few problems in pregnancy that you can actually control or manage. If I'm having a major freakout, I'll probably go for peace of mind, but I don't think I'd like to go to the doctor's office every two weeks to make sure everything is OK. But I'm not at that stage yet so I might feel differently later. I'm curous though - can you tell us more about your acupuncture? I'm considering it but I haven't made up my mind yet.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784946794675621661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602797632310731803.post-33872122831667901052010-07-31T14:48:27.804-07:002010-07-31T14:48:27.804-07:00To Tracy: I had an SCH diagnosed at 9 weeks and de...To Tracy: I had an SCH diagnosed at 9 weeks and delivered my son at 23 weeks. If you want to chat my e-mail is fireangel117@hotmail.com<br /><br />To Lara: I'd rock that diaper hat with bells on if it would help. But I learned from this pregnancy that OBs generally have a really easy job. There is not much they can do, other than monitoring prior to viability.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587287197734518952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602797632310731803.post-59544115072065971172010-07-31T09:43:25.534-07:002010-07-31T09:43:25.534-07:00Definitely can relate as I feel these same fears m...Definitely can relate as I feel these same fears myself.

I always felt silly going to these appointments because "I was fine." "Other women should see her, not me" <br />Well, thank God I did. My son died, he had a severe heart defect - that no matter when he was born would have had the same outcome...but my doctor LISTENED to me. And if she didn't, I would have died trying to race back to the hospital to have my baby. <br />I think you should absolutely follow your gut on this one...and your heart.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710038316098143052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602797632310731803.post-44797795272995398112010-07-30T19:33:48.075-07:002010-07-30T19:33:48.075-07:00T, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Having a baby is more complicated than I thought... it's a miracle. I really hope your MFM will offer you weekly or bi-weekly visits. That would definitely bring some ease into any mom's head. If you find that crystal ball pass it over when your done with it :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811352839352343105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602797632310731803.post-72366967211205632352010-07-30T18:52:08.620-07:002010-07-30T18:52:08.620-07:00Hello.

I don't have a blog but I was hoping I could ask you a question. Were you ever told the cause of your bleeding? Was it a subchorionic hemorrhage? I was diagnosed with one at 6 weeks and went into labor at 23 weeks and my son did not survive. I wish you the best and hope that you and your husband are doing as well as you can be.<br /><br />Thanks - TracyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246142239742915169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602797632310731803.post-25829229401434488642010-07-30T16:24:57.701-07:002010-07-30T16:24:57.701-07:00I completely understand that fear!

I am scared to that if I don't do everything that I possibly can something may happen again. That fear is horrible! I hope your appointment goes well. If nothing else- maybe they can at least give you a little peace of mind knowing that you have taken all the steps possible to try to prevent anything from happening again.pennynjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866602551467904193noreply@blogger.com
