Long post !!!

This pregnancy has been a fight from the very beginning and not just physically, but emotionally and mentally, too.

At 10 weeks and 3 days, I had an ultrasound at a licensed pregnancy center. They measured baby and gave me a due date of 9/12/25. It brought me peace after weeks of sickness and uncertainty.

But when I finally had my first OB appointment at 13 weeks, I told the nurse I’d been throwing up constantly, losing weight, and that I already had a scan confirming my due date. That’s when she said:

“Someone off the street could’ve done this.”

referring to my licensed scan.

They didn’t check on baby, do a scan, or take my concerns seriously.

So the next day, March 11, I went to the hospital. I felt weak, dizzy, and like I was going to pass out. They gave me fluids and ran an ultrasound. The doctor came in and told me baby was measuring 13 weeks, confirming the same due date I was already told: 9/12/25.

“We’re not sure why your OB would say that. Everything looks on track.”

And while I was lying in that hospital bed, my OB office suddenly sent in nausea medication only after I left their office and had to go to the ER. It was clear I had to advocate for myself or I wouldn’t be taken seriously.

On March 20, I ended up back in the ER, this time for severe gallbladder pain. The ultrasound tech told me they would be checking both my gallbladder and baby. The scan lasted over an hour. I laid there cold and uncomfortable until I finally told her I couldn’t breathe. She sat me up and continued scanning for another 15 minutes.

She told me:

“I can’t show you anything; the doctor has to go over the results.”

Later, the doctor came in and told me baby looked good, and the only issue was that my gallbladder had stones but thankfully no infection. That’s when I started eating differently.

That night, I also found out I had a UTI which my OB had already known about and never treated. No phone call. No prescription. Nothing. I was only treated after ending up in the ER again.

By March 24, I went in for another scan at my OB office. I asked if they would be measuring baby that day, and the ultrasound tech responded:

“We didn’t even have to do this scan since you went to the hospital. But since you showed up and we charged you, we did it anyway.”

She told me the reason they didn’t need to scan me again was because of the ultrasound done on March 20 the night I went to the hospital for gallbladder pain. But when I requested those records, there was no baby scan on file only the gallbladder. So this had me lost which is why I requested the records from the night of march 20th in the first place.

When the scan was done, she asked me twice if I was sure about my last period. I told her yes 12/12/24. But even on their own scan, baby was measuring ahead of the 9/18/25 due date they originally gave me, aligning more closely with what I’d been told from the beginning.

So moral of the story I’m trying hard to find a new ob where I live it’s not many options that take my insurance and that are taking new patients this been really hard for me . But I can’t trust what they say at all . Pls always advocate for your self . Ask questions and keep recording thank goodness my baby is ok ! Now I just have to find a new OB doctor.

Also this is my 6th pregnancy I had 3MC and 2 live births . Anyways I thought I would share someone could be experiencing the same or similar stress I have been wishing all health happy baby’s . Here a picture of what I was told is that I’m having a little girl after two healthy boys !
