This past week has been awful.

As some of you know, we had to put my dog to sleep and my word has that been harder than I imagined.

On top of that, we had our 20 week ultrasound and got some very confusing information. To make a long story short, the doctor who did it said the ultrasound was perfect! However, he suggested we come back in 6 weeks for a re-scan because something on the babies brain was catching his attention. Even though the measurement was perfect, he just said he had a feeling, but 100% refused to elaborate on what he saw or what the feeling was.

I have to tell you, I haven't felt this stressed in a long time. I feel like there's an elephant on my back and if I could, I would lay in bed all day and just cry all of this stress out.

Anyway, I'm going to ask for another doctor to review my scan, because I want more info, but in the meantime, any positive thoughts or prayers from those who pray, would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I and my baby need a little extra support right now because I'm feeling like I just can't deal.

Hello and good morning, I think your doing the right thing by having another doctor look at the ultra sound. In the meanwhile ask God for healing and pray for protection. You and baby will be fine. Hugs.

Sending lots of positivity and luck, Park!
I also agree that it will be best to ask for another opinion about the Ultrasound results, only to make you feel better and relaxed.

I am sure your dr just wants to be sure that nothing's wrong and he is being extra cautious. Nothing more than that.
Everything will be alright.

I can only imagine how you must be feeling. I'm so sorry you have to handle all of this stress.

I am sending all of my positive, healing, and hopeful thoughts that all will be okay.

Dear Park, i often wonder just what in some peoples mind makes them want to seem special, that doctor
should have let his Ego rest and tell you just the facts, his or her so called intuition is meaningless and harmful.

That baby of yours is in development good greif now i think you must have it redone to get peace of mind!

Mam 100% means just that, and that was all you needed. Peace

what kind of dr says they have a "feeling" and for you to come back in 6 weeks??? Not a very good one!!! I would be going to another dr right away to reassess! I am betting this idiot knows nothing. good luck and keep us posted please! prayers to you and your baby!

Park12,

I can't imagine what you're going through, putting your precious dog to sleep, and now your newborn baby that's not even born yet. God created the baby, so pray to God and ask Him to make sure that the baby will be alright. I'll be praying for you too.
Do get a second and the third opinion if you have to. Because doctors are human too, and they don't know everything.
I am so sorry that you're going through a tough time right now, but I'm sure that everything is going to be okay.
Be strong and hang in there!!!
God bless you and your family.
Have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!!!
Love and hugs,

P.,

I too think that doctors don't realize just how much this kind of thing affects us! I am sorry you are going through this worry.:( My first OBGYN did something similar with my first baby's US...

...mentioned he couldn't locate the kidneys (early US) but that it was probably fine...

WHAT?!? I did not have the anxeity disorder at this point...but of course this was still alarming.

Everything turned out fine and the 'missing parts' showed up at the next appointment.;)

All will be will with your little one too. Get that second opinion for peace of mind though, of course.

Let us know when you get the review done okay?

Thoughts and prayers,

S.C.

I'm with Larry, what the heck is wrong with this doctor??

Prayers and positive thoughts being sent your way, Park❤️❤️

How dare he be so vague with you! I agree for a second opinion but maybe also a call to the office to say doctor said this and I'm not sure I'm clear on what that means. Can he call to discuss? Let them know you feel alarmed.
You & yours will be in my prayers.
As miraculous and happy pregnancy is- for many of us it is also a very anxious time.
Wishing you pece

Thank you all so much for being supportive. I don't have too much to report yet.

I called the specialist office yesterday and left a message. Someone called and offered to have the original doctor call me, but I declined and said that he and I had already gone in circles, so I wanted to speak to someone new. I didn't get a call back yesterday, so I'm hoping to have someone call me today.

I did hear from my regular OB who said that the doctor who did my ultrasound simply saw nothing and that is why he is unable to explain himself. While it's reassuring that my OB is so confident, it isn't helping as much as I would hope.

I can't feel the anxious energy just pumping through me and it's not a feeling I like!

Thank you all again for keeping this baby and I in your thoughts. Knowing I have my HW family supporting me is really one of the only things that's calming my nerves right now. I'll update if I get news today.

Hi Park

Sorry for the late response.

I am sending positive thoughts your way.

I think you are right to get an other doctor to look at your scan keep us posted.

Hibee

I love you all for the prayers and positive thoughts!

I just left my OB who told me that my ultrasound went befor the Maternal Fetal Medicine review committee and has been given the all clear!!!

The choice to follow up in 6 weeks is mine, but I don't think I will. I think it is just opening myself up to more fear. I have to trust an entire board of doctors.

If you wouldn't mind keeping me in your thoughts, I would appreciate it. This past week has really made things challenging for me and my anxiety is in full swing. I would love a little bit of peace now. Thank you all so much for your never ending support!
