Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hello everyone: Just to let you know what happened at the doctor's tonight. The baby grew exatly 1 week from last week - the baby measures 6 weeks 4 days. The doctor said everything looks good - my blood levels are going up - the problem is that there is no heartbeat yet. I have to go back on the 20th to see what happens. I'm back on a waiting game again. I'll let everyone know what happens on the 20th. Keep praying for me.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I have a real question I need to ask. I've been crying all day since returning from the hospital from my pre-testing for tomorrows " Suction D & C " . The nurse practioner at the hospital told me that I lost my two precious angels for no reason. She said because you had gastric bypass, your doctor should have checked different blood levels then those from a normal pregnant women and also the normal ones as well. She told me I probably was not getting enough IRON and Fultrate to the baby, and in return that could have caused my two miscarriages. Is that possible? My doctor did now that I had bypass surgery. Why didn't the doctor know what types of tests to run. What should I do! Please help me understand. Love, Dawn New York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Dear Dawn, I am so sorry that this is happening to you. I would ask your ob/gyn to confer with your surgeon or if he/she feels that they were not educated enough about pregnancy after gastric bypass surgery, then they needed to try to refer you to a doctor that is. A normal pregnancy is hard enough on a woman's body - physically and emotionally, not to mention us that have been through surgery and had fertility issues! Take care, you are in my thoughts.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi there sweetie...like someone else said...get your OB to talk to your surgeon. After the second msicarriage, you should be able to be tested to find the reason. There can be several, and maybe it is not related to GP at all. My heart is with you Mama.
