Different doctor??

Question

Should I find a new doctor?

I have hypothyroidism, I'm almost 9 weeks with my 3rd.

I seen my dr 4 weeks she said come back in 4 weeks for your 1st prenatal sent me for blood work for my thyriod...Dec 4th I go back and see her I'm just over 8 weeks..she has no idea why I'm there and tells me to come back Dec 15th for 1st prenatal appointment doesn't check my thyriod gets my hemagloblin levels checked. .maybe it's just me but I'm over here like get your shit together. .. is this normal.

Answer

I would say yes. I changed doctors recently because my previous doc seemed to never know what was going on, even though she has my file right in front of her face. I switched doctors after being referred by a couple different people. BEST DECISION EVER! If you're questioning it, you should do it. It's really important you feel comfortable with your doc. Especially if you're dealing with any "abnormal" type situations.

Answer

You definitely need to see someone who is going to remember to check your thyroid levels regularly. It is VERY important because they can fluctuate so much in pregnancy and your dose needs to be adjusted as soon as possible. I worked for an endocrinologist and he had levels checked on pregnant patients every 4-6 weeks based on their specific diagnosis and their levels.
