I feel like I need to find a new doctor
I had a miscarriage earlier this year and I was going to the same maternity clinic as I am now. I’m currently 4w6d and I had my first appointment today.
I had a lot of concerns I wanted addressed and it seemed like she didn’t really care too much?
They don’t want to check my hcg levels and they don’t want me to have an ultrasound for another 5-6 weeks and to not come back to the clinic until after the ultrasound. My last miscarriage was a mmc at 6 weeks and I didn’t find out till 10 weeks that it wasnt alive anymore so obviously I really wanted an ultrasound earlier than 10 or 11 weeks, or at least blood work to confirm my levels are on the right track.
I am also trying to cut down on smoking, and I’m doing well but I wanted advice or resources to help me completely quit. And all she said was to get the patch and that was it! I’m honestly blown away at how unconcerned she was.
I almost feel uncomfortable going back there because I feel like I won’t be taken care of properly. Now I just have to worry for the next 5 weeks....
