Last week my OB told me my baby had IUGR and said she was only 3 pounds and a few ounces in the 4th percentile and I needed to be induced November 1st (3 weeks prior to my November 22nd due date) or my baby would die.

But I went to see a specialist on Monday and I found out she actually doesn’t have IUGR. She is 5 pounds and 2 ounces, in the 25th percentile and she’s only measuring 2 days behind her generation week. The specialist also said there is no medical reason for me to be induced.

My doctor had her nurse call me yesterday to cancel my induction, then called today to cancel my appointment for no reason, and said to come in at my next scheduled appointment (which my doctor told me not to make another one). So then I tried to make an appointment with another doctor and I was told by the nurse I wasn’t aloud to? So I called back again and talked to the receptionist and she told me that my doctor has to ok the switch?

Someone please help me cause I’m about to break down. I’m so stressed out and idk what to do, or where to go. She’s been trying to make sure I have this baby early and keeps telling me my baby is unhealthy or she’s going to die when she’s not. I’m located in the Charleston, SC area. And I have Blue Cross Blue Shield. Any advice or help would be extremely helpful.

*EDIT*

I was left a voicemail this morning telling me my appointment for today had been canceled, so I called back trying to figure out why, and then it took having 3 nurses call me to find out nothing and be told that my Dr. will see me at my next appointment. Which I didn’t have. So I asked if I could see another doctor and make an appointment with him and her Nurse told me that I wasn’t aloud to do that..

On a side note I think I might be dilating and that’s why I’m more upset than anything because I don’t understand the changes my body is going through right now and I wanted to talk to her about that stuff so I could get a better understanding of what is going on and feel more relaxed and now I have no doctor essentially.
