Partial Placental Abruption & Marginal Cord Insertion

Laura

On my anatomy scan we found out that the cord insertion was marginal. It took over a week to get my dr. to call me back to discuss it. When he did he just said the baby’s growing it’s fine.

Yesterday (20w5d) I had some light bleeding and cramping so I went in. Dr. did an ultrasound and said it showed that I had an early, mild, partial placental abruption. Also, not to worry the baby was moving and growing still.

I’m a worrier, just telling me don’t worry without discussing what’s happening, what causes it, what I should be aware of etc doesn’t work for me. I told him this yet still just got general reassurance. Now I’m thinking about switching doctors or at least getting a second opinion.

Has anyone have experience switching OBs in the middle of your pregnancy or with healthy babies after marginal cords or placental abruptions?
