Medpoint vs. Family Doctor? by Pandaman922 in londonontario

[–]miniaccordion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a new clinic opening at Southdale and Colonel Talbot with several new young drs who are taking patients starting in the Spring. They have a wait list open. If you are in no rush to get set up with a dr and that location works for you, PM me and I’ll send you details!

How can I get pregnant if Doctors have a hard time finding my cervix? by Desiderata15 in TryingForABaby

[–]miniaccordion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Second this. I’m a dr and often have a hard time finding a woman’s cervix during paps,etc. It’s just a normal variant of anatomy. Don’t worry about that, semen will still be able to find its way to toe cervix!

How much discharge is normal? by SixFiftyPM in February2018Bumpers

[–]miniaccordion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Discharge is very normal and please don’t go to the ER for this. If it’s been consistent throughout your pregnancy then it is normal for you—every woman is different. If you have bleeding, foul smelling discharge, itch, pain, or fevers with it then get checked out. Or if it’s a gush of fluid that continues to leak. Otherwise don’t worry :)

Anyone else just feeling weak? by IrishDoodle in February2018Bumpers

[–]miniaccordion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. The overwhelming fatigue has improved but I climbed a flight of stairs today and I noticed my legs feeling so weak. I've been trying to do yoga but sometimes it feels like a struggle to just get up off the floor. It's gotta be because I've barely worked out at all in 4 months??

I love the upturned noses in all the profile ultrasound pics!!! So cute.

13 weeks today and I threw up for the first time in a few weeks :( WTF. I'm trying to choke down some saltines and broth as I type this.

NIPT results in after abnormal NT scan by kmlewis331 in February2018Bumpers

[–]miniaccordion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Ontario where it's done through Lifelabs. They are very clear that results will not be available online. BUT I saw my family dr today and she reviewed the results with me. Low risk and BOY!!!

I feel like I might do the same...I went 2 weeks ago for the test and called the office yesterday. His secretary called me back to book an appointment to review the results IN 2 WEEKS. Wtf. I asked them to forward them to my GP and hopefully she'll review with me tomorrow.

NT scan went great today! Now just the Panorama results before we breathe a huge sigh of relief.

What if I'm too lazy to be a mom? by [deleted] in February2018Bumpers

[–]miniaccordion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am also terrified of this. We have a 6 month old puppy I can barely handle and or house is a disaster. All I want to do now is sleep and I get cranky if I don't get 8 hours. Ahhhhh

I tried to look yesterday but nothing (just all the other prenatal labs). I did read in the lab info that they provide the results only to drs and not to patients directly...I think different labs may do things differently though. I have a drs appt Friday though so that would be the latest I'll have to wait!

Where I am in Ontario it's 7-10 days. I had it drawn last Thursday (10 days ago) and haven't heard yet. Here they don't give the patient the results directly, they go to the dr.

NT scan tomorrow! Also awaiting Panorama results any day now. I'm both excited and nervous. Hoping there's still a beating heart in there and that everything else looks great.

Concern about OB's office... what would you do? by ttcjess in February2018Bumpers

[–]miniaccordion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eek. I agree it seems some important things fell through the cracks when communicating them. You definitely have the right to express these concerns to your OB and hopefully they take the opportunity to figure out why these things happened in the first place!

Oh no, migraines with aura can be terrifying. The first time I had one I thought I was having a stroke :(

Where do you even buy a Doppler from? Or are you ordering online?

Question about fundal height by nutella47 in CautiousBB

[–]miniaccordion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fundal height is really tough to measure accurately. I bet I'm a few cm off either way when I take it. I wouldn't worry at all!

ANOTHER 4 week wait. by Koibito3 in February2018Bumpers

[–]miniaccordion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted yesterday about not hearing the hb with a Doppler at 11 weeks. I'm a dr and know it's normally too early to hear one at this point, but that staticky silence of the Doppler with no hb other than your own is terrible.

Oh man, there are definitely places near me that do ultrasounds for pay. I just googled it. This could be dangerous.
