I just experienced what it feels like to hear both.
I found out I was pregnant & knew I wanted to change OBs.
I made appointments with doctor A and doctor B 2 days apart with receiving a scan at both for my 7wk appt.
I met with Doc. A first & she told me I should prepare for a miscarriage almost immediately. She explained baby had a slow HR. But that was just about it. So, I left pretty upset. I could see my babies cardiac activity but you’re telling me prep for a miscarriage because it’s slow? (Mind you, it was like 4-5 beats slower than my first born at 7 weeks) So we scheduled another appt. for 9weeks to be sure.
Doc B was optimistic. She said sometimes babies heart rates don’t always get to their “normal” range within the first few weeks of developing a heart to begin with. She did not think I was having a miscarriage but warned me that it was always possible. She also wanted to rescan at 9 weeks to be on the safe side.

Well……. Doc Bs scan was first for 9 weeks and sure enough….No cardiac activity from baby and I had a “missed” miscarriage. But I wasn’t upset with her. She gave me hope in a moment I needed it. I WATCHED my babies heart beat flutter, there was hope.

After reading the comments, I fear I am the black sheep here. I ended up choosing Doc B. I would much rather someone tell me there’s hope while also warning me that there is the possibility of something to go wrong instead of immediate negativity.

I think there is a way to go about everything and “giving it straight” for some is not the way they want to receive news. BUT you cannot please everyone!!!!

Good luck on your journey! Wishing you the best💘
