MFM consult? What should I expect?

Question

I have my consultation with maternal fetal medicine on the 18th. I have an ultrasound first then the actual appointment right after. What normally happens? I’ve never had to go before but this new doctor of mine sent me for a referral 🙄

Answer

My last pregnancy I had to see MFM after anatomy scan due to 2 vessel cord, solitary kidney and possible heart issue (ended up with a VSD found after birth). The ultrasound was basically a longer anatomy scan and they really measured and took time to look at and look again at everything. Then afterwards we talked to genetics and they took our history and explained some things and talked about genetic testing that we could do to rule out certain things.
I'm not sure what you are going for, but for our issues at that time, the appointment really helped put me at ease!

Answer

Did your doctor say what makes you high risk?

Answer

Normally they do measurements, verify gender, fluid measurements and look for any abnormalities. The ultrasound tech can’t tell you any of this hence the afterwards appointment. I’m sure everything will be okay mama 😌
