Can I ask who you have choosen this time?? You can txt me if you like. But I would call her again if you feel happy to go with her and just let her know you are pregnant again and maybe just let her know that you are pregnant and maybe she can organise an early scan for you.

Stacey, I've had no blood tests to confirm this pregnancy or to check HCG levels.

If your going with the same one as you contacted last time I'd say give her a call, it will give you someone else to share your concerns with and she maybe able to put you a bit more at ease - a problem shared kinda thing.  Also you can have just at blood test to confirm pregnancy without having the hcg levels checked.  Not a good time to be stressing, do what feels right and makes you feel comfortable

Aaaaannnddd

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I agree with what TraceyA has said.

After my blighted ovum I felt funny calling my midwife incase it happened again. So when I saw her at the supermarket of all places, I told her I was pregnant, but planned to get some serial hcg's done for a couple weeks and also a dating scan. So I did this then contacted her.

Don't be put off because you are early. Unfortunately mc can happen at any stage so you just have to think positively!

You'll be fine....and congrats :)]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:20:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22719&PID=551995&title=get-a-mw-now-or-wait#551995 <![CDATA[Get a MW now or wait? : My MW with Daniel has retired...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22719&PID=551990&title=get-a-mw-now-or-wait#551990 Author: kebakat

My MW with Daniel has retired lol... but the MW I spoke to last time was fairly new in Palmy and not well known so she wasn't totally booked up quickly.

When I get closer to 6 weeks I will go see my GP, he's an ex ob and gets me what I want so I'll get a scan referral then and even if he wants me to go get bloods I think I just won't lol]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:15:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22719&PID=551990&title=get-a-mw-now-or-wait#551990 <![CDATA[Get a MW now or wait? : Yay for being preggers again Stacey!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22719&PID=551986&title=get-a-mw-now-or-wait#551986 Author: weegee

Yay for being preggers again Stacey! All appendages crossed for a sticky one! And good on you for not doing the stressful hcg tests done, try to relax if you can

Is there a bad MW shortage in Palmy? We're short of them up here but I got mine at 8 weeks no problem. So if you would feel more comfortable waiting another couple of weeks, surely you should be able to still get one then. On the other hand, if you liked the MW you got last time and she was nice about it, might be worth giving her a heads up anyway? ]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:12:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22719&PID=551986&title=get-a-mw-now-or-wait#551986 <![CDATA[Get a MW now or wait? : I reckon so Stacey.

I reckon so Stacey. Who will organise your first scan to check whether it is ectopic or not, or will you just wait?

Should I get a MW now or wait until I'm further along?

I felt like a bit of a dick last time when I got one straight away so to not miss out and then having to tell her that I don't need her anymore because I miscarried.

I haven't been to the docs to get it "confirmed".. 3 POAS tests is confirmation enough. I don't want to get bloods done because hcg tests are stressful and I don't want that.

Should I just stop being silly and phone a MW??]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:04:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22719&PID=551982&title=get-a-mw-now-or-wait#551982
