I went in as a new patient 6wk preg. with a Subchorionic Bleed. I was told it did not look good because the amount of bleeding i was experiencing. At my last appointment at 7wk the Dr. told me to come back at 11 weeks if I don't lose the baby before then. From what i have read on the net..most Dr.'s want to see the patient back weekly to determine if there is still a heart beat. The earlier the better for a D and C if the pregancy is not viable...so why would i be dismissed this way?? I'm already "high risk" at 41 which she made sure to remind me of although from what i have read, SCH does not have anything to do with age..and just made me feel worse and pretty much like there was no hope. She reminded me how "the good eggs are when we're younger and now..." you get the idea... Now i have had two days of no bleeding and general pregnancy nausea (i have two children and remember quite well) so this may be heading in the right direction, but she is only willing to "take me in" and give me the vitamins etc if i'm still pregnant in 4 weeks. Am i crazy or do i deserve better than this? My last obgyn was a brilliant dr. but if you landed in the hospital while she was at a Kings game or on her way to one then you were SOL and you were lucky to see her 2 times during your pregnancy...so i need a Dr. with compassion and a great 'bed side manner' is that too much to ask? This is difficult enough. I won't say who this Dr. is but maybe another Dr. at this practice would be better for me. I just want to deliver at Sutter Roseville if the pregnancy goes to term and need a good Dr. help...
