Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

[rilly10]

OK so I was trying to holdout posting and continue to lurk for another few week but I just can't contain myself any longer!!! I am preggers too! This will be my first child and I am 8 weeks and due November 10th. I just had my first apt this Monday and got to see the little limabean's heartbeat. I am adopted, and DH's mom had a few miscarriages, so I am considered high risk, so only our immidiate family knows for now. I am biting my nails until 13/14 weeks, but just had to tell someone!

Okay so now I'm panicked.

I was told that the radiologist would look at the ultrasound and call me if anything was "wrong." If I didn't hear back within the next few days, I'd get a letter in the mail saying everything was okay....

Well I got home at 5:15 and had two hang-ups on the answering machine from my clinic. My heart sank and I called back. I was put on hold for 11 minutes, transferred twice and then put on hold another 3 minutes. I finally was told that everyone that would know anything is gone for the evening and to call back in the morning!

Well that wasn't very nice of them!! Maybe they got confused.. I know my doc's office will tell me the same thing and end up calling me anyway to tell me everything is ok, scarring me half to death.. I never get a letter.. I hope that's the case for you!

I am hoping they were calling to tell me everything is okay...but they never do that....but why not leave a message? I am sure because of some HEPPA thing or something--which means they can't leave a message....but still....the suspense....the worry....the what-ifs!

OMG, I would tell you not to worry, but I know if it was me I would worry anyway. Same thing involving my medical insurance happened to me on Saturday, couldn't talk to anybody until Monday, and all weekend I kept thinking something happend with my insurance, and I wasn't covered! Then it turned out to be nothing. I hope it turns out that way for you

Thank you....I can't help but be worried....I am not a trained ultrasound tech....and the only thing I the tech said about any anatomy (other than the sex of the baby), was that she had a "pretty spine."

I know they're not "allowed" to disclose anything because they're just techs....but the doctor's office also has my cell phone number and my work number. I was at work until almost 5pm and I have my cell on me all of the time. No phone calls. They called our house at 3:40pm and 3:56pm.
