My first ultrasound, there was no heartbeat, they couldn't find a yolk sac, no baby--just an empty gestational sac. The ultrasound tech asked me if I had my last period date right. I told her that I ovulate late, so 5 weeks was right on, even though they insist on putting 7 weeks on my chart. I never saw a doctor or even a nurse. After a week of blood tests, I was told over the phone that it was an unviable (spelling??) pregnancy and I had three choices: to wait for the miscarriage, schedule another ultrasound, or schedule the D & C. I found another doctor right away. Even though the pregnancy did end in a horrible, bloody miscarriage, and I did end up having a D & C, it wasn't without more than half a dozen ultrasounds and more blood tests and a caring doctor who walked me through every step. I may have had a similar ending to what the first nurse predicted, but at least it ended with complete assurance that I did everything I could and I knew without a doubt my baby was not alive.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036936086174427591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651203945952162254.post-63816028673401365722007-07-09T20:14:00.000-07:002007-07-09T20:14:00.000-07:00It sure does!

I don't think that's even time to allow the parents to begin the grieving process and make wise decisions.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412313508492468369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651203945952162254.post-35372960491249337812007-07-08T23:22:00.000-07:002007-07-08T23:22:00.000-07:00Wow, I have never heard of a rushed D&C.

It definitely pays to have a conservative OB.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17557869545760047339noreply@blogger.com
