So yesterday after work my obgyn office finally called me back (I had called them again on Monday and left a message). Since it was after hours, the nurse told me to go ahead and go to the emergency room to be safe. At the emergency room they gave me an ultrasound where the baby was wiggling like crazy with a heart rate of 161bpm and measuring in a week ahead of the original due date. It was a huge relief to actually see the baby and see the heartbeat and the legs kicking all over. They found no subchorionic hemorrhage, and no abnormalities detected. The ultrasound tech said something about it being old blood from (something that sounded like endometriosis but wasn’t that), and didn’t sound concerned.

Of course, despite her reassurance, the doctor at this place is I think the most “The world is ending!” person I’ve ever met. He came in before the scan and told me I “NEEDED” to be tested “IMMEDIATELY” for Rh incompatibility. He made it sound like if I didn’t get it done within 24 hours, me and baby would die. That’s how dramatic he was. Mind you, my obgyn has run my blood work and all they said was “everything looks great!” And also, I’m only about 10-11 weeks along. If I had the Rh incompatibility, I wouldn’t be getting anything until I was 28 weeks along.

They also took three vials of my blood, but didn’t tell me what for, just to call today for results. Today I called and asked if they had my test results ready, and I’m told a nurse will call me shortly. The nurse calls me back, and seems to have no idea what I’m talking about when I say that I had three vials of blood drawn and sent for testing. So I still can’t figure out what happened there, and they don’t have any clue either because this nurse wasn’t on shift last night. They of course also tested my hCG levels, so the nurse told me that. I’m at I believe 75,983mIU/ml, which is perfectly in the range it’s supposed to be for 9-12 weeks of pregnancy, however she says “which puts you at 5-6 weeks pregnant.” Now, I’m obviously not a doctor, but I can read. Everything I’ve read online, every chart and pregnancy website, says that puts me at 9-12 weeks, not 5-6. So I tell her that. She says “well that’s not what the labs said” and I tell her that’s fine, but it’s incorrect and they should do a better job.

Now here’s where I need advice: Is this place just a hot mess? Are they that bad at their jobs that they attempted to misinform me multiple times about my pregnancy, or am I stupid? It was so frustrating having the male doctor come in occasionally just to say something terrifying when every single test came back perfectly fine (other than my missing blood work) and now to have the nurse call me and give me completely incorrect information…I’m just at a loss. They also wouldn’t much listen when I explained to them that it wasn’t heavy bleeding or fresh blood, it was a tiny amount of old blood only apparent when I wiped. They seemed to want it to be the worst news. For legal reasons I’m sure the doctor had to cover his bases, but he kept coming in calling it a threatened miscarriage with so much drama in his voice that it was infuriating.
