When I found out I was pregnant again I went to see my doctor, who is a fantastic and helpful lady.
Because of 3 consecutive miscarriages before having my little boy I was under a consultant at the hospital who last time prescribed a drug for me which I had to take every 12 hours until I was 12 weeks. This was to try and make him 'stick' as all my miscarriages have been between 6 and 12 weeks...hmmmmm.. like now! So anyway, she faxed him a letter asking for his advice.
Neither myself or my dr has heard from him so I called his office this morning and spoke to his secretary. He has not even seen my letter yet and is not around to look a paperwork until 14th October, another 2 weeks away. Which is another 2 weeks that I can't take this drug because he is the only person that is able to prescribe it!!!!
And to top it off, the secretary proceeded to tell me that the best way not to miscarry now is to keep calm and not get stressed..!! Well I wasn't stressed in the first place and her being so condescending was not making me very calm!!
Anyway, I have to wait. I will be able to get an early scan next week through my dr though so at least that will be a start.
Sorry to have a bit of a rant... Feeling much better now!!
