I had my first OB appointment on April 24th. It was at the high risk clinic but unfortunatly my RE who was my high risk OB last time is no longer doing OB work and he neglected to tell me! I was so upset that he wasn't there since he knows my history and all the tests that need to be done. Instead I get a new doctor I actually just saw the nurse practioner today she was super nice but I mean really during normal check in with the nurse they told me I could have sex and it would be ok I was like ummm no I can't I have incompetent cervix it's complete pelvic rest for me as soon as I got that BFP.
They did all the normal things pap, urine test and physical exam. Also did blood work and some extra tests to test for more infections (I get an infection around 17 weeks that causes me to miscarry this has happened twice but we still have no clue what is CAUSING this ) I was also upset that I will not be getting Ultrasounds at every visit (like I did last time with my old doctor) But I guess that's just something he did. It's frustrating I don't know why they don't just do it to make sure everything is ok. It's not like my insurance doesn't pay for it all.
The Nurse Practioner did sneak me in for a quick ultrasound (just on the belly so no picture) to check the heartbeat. Didn't really see much since I didn't have a full bladder or anything but I did see that heart flickering at a nice 175 bpm. So fast and it sounded so wonderful.
My next appointment is May 5th which will be my pre surgical consult as I'll be having a cerclage put in at 12 weeks. This time I'll actually be seeing the doctor who will be doing the cerclage.
