Need Help! Posted: 11-02-05 08:05am
Had my u/s yesterday as well as appt with
ob-gyn, the whole point of the ultrasound
was to see if my placenta moved and a
decision be made if I go back to work or
not. When I saw ob-gyn he said I could
go back, I asked if he had results from
u/s he said no and that if something was
wrong the u/s tech would have said
something, that was not the case when I
found out originally.
I kept asking for u/s results and they
wouldnt go look so we talked abit longer
and I left, when I got home I talked with
my mom and she told me I should call back
and get the answer I needed. I had a
nurse call back and said the dr is right
but they still didnt get the results from
the u/s they were taking the previous one
I had oct 9 that stated I had lowlaying
placenta with part of it over cervix but
they said it was just low laying
placenta.
Why would I have had three doctors come in
my room 3 weeks ago and tell my I had
placenta previa, when every dr said there
is nothing to worry about even my husband
looked into it and its dangerous (hubby is
nurse.) I dont want to jeopardize this
baby in anyway, I want a healthy baby and
I wish I never had this condition but
ob-gyn wouldnt accept that there was
anything wrong with me.
I dont have complete previa but marginal
and now I have two choices, go back to
work and hope that I carry this baby to
term or quit and stay home but I would be
guranteed more of a full term birth. Im
so lost I have no idea what to do but I
have to notify my work tomorrow, why is
it I have such a hard time with drs.
Can someone give me advice?
Hubby is asking dr he works with today but
even then we are both upset that condition
hasnt changed and they are sending me back
to work (worried something may go wrong.)
any info would help, I really need it!
Sorry for the long post!

Jobs may come and go but your children are
yours for a lifetime. I'd quit and make
sure I have a healthy baby! I went
through the same thing and I ended up
quitting a job which was nursing also
because I wanted my baby very much and
when I would go to work I would start
bleeding, this went on for 3 weeks.
Finally I said to myself I am not gonna
lose this baby for any job so I quit and I
started to take it easy and I havent bled
since and I am now roughly 16 weeks. And
as far as I know it the us tech cant tell
you anything its the doctors
responsability to tell you the results.
Best of luck to you!

The u/s tech can not give you any results
at all. They only do the work and the
doctor is the one who has to tell you
things. I would go to a differnt doctor,
but first I would demand that they give
you your results that is your right if
they don't give them to you then you can
demand to get a copy of your file- they
have to give it to you although they might
charge 20 dollars or something to print it
off- but they have to- under law give you
your test results no matter what they say.
If he still wont and you go to a differnt
dr and the new dr says that something is
wrong you call a lawyer and sue the pants
off the other guy- because he is probably
doing it to other people to. Protect
yourself and your baby and do not take
their crap! They think that you are
stupid and don't know any better. Get a
second opinion.
