  1. Undiagnosed placenta previa?

    wannabeL&D73 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have a question for you experienced nurses: Does it make sense that a woman would not be diagnosed with previa until they showed up at full term in labor bleeding profusely? I just had never heard...

  2. Undiagnosed placenta previa?

    wannabeL&D73 replied to wannabeL&D73's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, she is over 35 and refused pre-natal testing so they did a level

  3. Undiagnosed placenta previa?

    wannabeL&D73 replied to wannabeL&D73's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Talked to my friend today. She had a level II u/s at 20 weeks. I just don't get how they missed it. I am so thankful that the outcome was good.

  4. Undiagnosed placenta previa?

    wannabeL&D73 replied to wannabeL&D73's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly, SBE, that is what I was thinking originally. So, then whoever did the 20 week u/s missed it, right? And isn't that a pretty big thing to miss? Is there a reasonable explanation as to why...

  5. Undiagnosed placenta previa?

    wannabeL&D73 replied to wannabeL&D73's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, so here is my question--it is possible then, that at 20 weeks it wouldn't have been a previa, but later on the placenta can move down? I had never heard of that, only thought it would sometimes...

  6. Undiagnosed placenta previa?

    wannabeL&D73 replied to wannabeL&D73's topic in Ob/Gyn

    But if it was a low-lying placenta shouldn't that have been followed? My friend is a very well-informed and intelligent woman with a medical background (well with animals anyway, she is a vet.) and...

  7. Undiagnosed placenta previa?

    wannabeL&D73 replied to wannabeL&D73's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, should have given more info. This was actually a friend who had all of her pre-natal care, including a 20-week u/s. I just couldn't believe that it had been missed. Aside from the fact that...

  8. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    wannabeL&D73 replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You know, I was hospitalized for 6 weeks for PTL, and I used the call light exactly twice. Once when the nurse was over an hour late with the terb., (and I was starting to contract) b/c she was in a...

  9. "Maternity Care Cost Saving Ideas" Please Share

    wannabeL&D73 replied to Caseyrnbsn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK--I am not generally wasteful, but the last thing I am thinking of while recovering from birth, trying to nurse and care for a newborn is to wash out the panties. I would have been shocked!

  10. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    wannabeL&D73 replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Geesh, that was a little harsh. I was asking a perfectly reasonable question--it wasn't clear that your post was meant to be light humor. And I dilated to a 5 without feeling a thing, so yes, it was...

  11. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    wannabeL&D73 replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Really? Does that really happen that pts. are hospitalized for Braxton-Hicks? I thought they would only be hospitalized if the contractions were actually causing change?

  12. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    wannabeL&D73 replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Totally unbelievable. I am scared for her poor baby...I can't imagine what kind of mother would put getting her hair and nails done above her baby's health.

  13. Yeast infection during pregnancy, HELP PLEASE!

    wannabeL&D73 replied to Anonymous2013's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I got a horrible, horrible yeast infection while on hospitalized bed rest--diflucan took care of it and my daughter is a happy, healthy 5 year old now.

  14. Judgements about big families

    wannabeL&D73 replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, some people need to be told the risk of having more children...but by their OB...not by the anesthesiologist *during* the delivery, for God's

  15. Judgements about big families

    wannabeL&D73 replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think he was totally out of line. It would be one thing for the OB, who already has an established relationship with the patient, to address the medical aspects of future pgs. at the post-partum...

  16. Pregnancy Testing/Banking Cord Blood

    wannabeL&D73 replied to zambezi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess for me personally I just can't stand the AFP. If you are someone who would really want to know ahead of time, then I say just go right for the definitive answer. I know too many people who...

  17. Pregnancy Testing/Banking Cord Blood

    wannabeL&D73 replied to zambezi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just had to post a link directly to pictures of lots of adorable children with Down syndrome. People have said that it doesn't seem quite as scary when you see how cute they are! Shannon...

  18. Pregnancy Testing/Banking Cord Blood

    wannabeL&D73 replied to zambezi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    congrats on your pregnancy! I don't want to add to your stress, but given the history of cone biopsy I think it would be in order to discuss the possibility of cerclage with your dr. At the very...

  19. Thoughts about Prenatal Screening Tests

    wannabeL&D73 replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As stated above, I think that the pts. need to be very clear about what they would do with the results. Many pts. are not given truly informed consent, for example they are given the AFP without even...

  20. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    wannabeL&D73 replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was well educated about the benefits of breastfeeding, but still strongly felt that it was not for me. I never felt uncomfortable around other people doing it, but felt extremely anxious...

  21. Positive GBS culture but declined antibiotics

    wannabeL&D73 replied to midwife2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

    She may have tested positive early in the pg., and then done research and made a decision regarding treatment. I was tested in the first trimester before I even knew what GBS was or why it was...

  22. BMJ Study Released on Homebirth

    wannabeL&D73 replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "I mean these people claim "electronic fetal monitoring" is somehow A Bad Thing." DD--I actually had a conversation regarding electronic fetal monitoring with a maternal-fetal specialist who happens...

  23. HPV vaccine on the horizon

    wannabeL&D73 replied to Nurse Ratched's topic in Ob/Gyn

    To me that is like saying that condoms encourage sex, which is absolutely false. *If* it were proven safe, I would want my daughter to get it to save herself the heartache of Incompetent cervix...

  24. Finding out gender at 5 weeks!

    wannabeL&D73 replied to sddlnscp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    True, this hasn't been an issue yet...IMO because by the time you can have amnio results back, the baby looks like a baby on u/s and it is more difficult to justify termination at that point. But at...

  25. Finding out gender at 5 weeks!

    wannabeL&D73 replied to sddlnscp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Interesting. My very first thought was that it would be used for gender selection and termination before I even finished reading the OP. I absolutely think there would be people here who would use...
