Advice about the ER

Kaylan

I posted this on another group so thought i would share here too...

I see a lot of woman heading to the ER for mild cramps and spotting.

THIS IS NOT WHAT THE ER IS FOR! If you are hemorrhaging blood or in extreme pain then that is what the ER is for.

Most likely the ER (where you will spend ALL day at) will run blood and perform a shotty ultrasound, bill you a crap ton and send you home. They will tell you to follow up with your OB, which should have just been done in the first place. AND then you will be even more of a nervous wreck until that appt bc the ER gave you a “threatened miscarriage” diagnosis.

Unfortunately if you have already started the miscarry process than there is absolutely nothing you or the ER can do.

I am not trying to be heartless but with everything going on in the world the ER is the last place a pregnant woman should be with these kinds of symptoms
