Found out today I've lost 10 lbs in a week.
Makes total weight loss @ 16weeks 5 days a whopping 27 lbs
With the lupus, I am high risk for IUGR, basically the baby having a harder time growing
My nurse, dietician and pt/ot in the hospital have all asked if they have done an ultrasound recently to see how baby was growing.
Last one was at 12 weeks, at that point I had only lost 8lbs
But babys growth hasn't been checked since, only heartrate
They've spent all day trying to get my OB to order an ultrasound. Turns out she is gone for the weekend already, nurse spoke with the on call doc who said "its not something to worry about. Call her doc Monday"
It would take a couple minutes to order an ultrasound and have someone come do it when there was time.
I've been here 2.5 weeks and had to fight for even the tiniest prenatal care, explanation? "Baby isn't viable yet so nothing we can do"
Insurance won't auth my transfer to another hospital :(
Ugh.
I'm fucking furious and just in tears. Because it feels like my doctor just does not give a shit. I'm going to call around for a new OB Monday.
This entire hospital stay has been a fucking nightmare.
Anywa6y, I'm finding a new OB and gonna bug the oncall docs here all weekend.
Do you agree with the "its not something to be concerned about" answer we got?

Thats good. Write all your questions down. Its not the end of the world. Just remember to stay calm. things will work out fine
Quoting SweetPea05:
The hardest part for me is the not stressing. I'm a worrier. So I am trying my hardest to just chill.
Nurse just told me the "baby bunch" lol I guess that's what they call the OBs that round in the hospital, are coming to see me first thing Monday and address all baby concerns :) and decide where to go from there! Yay
Quoting Diva-Mami:
Try not to worry. If they are not in a rush, then the dr doesnt think there is a problem just yet. Try to relax. I know its hard but stressing doesnt help.
Quoting SweetPea05:
No. But I am at high risk for it. Which is why I would like them to at least check.
I am glad she is fine :)
Quoting Diva-Mami:
We found out at 20 weeks when we found out the sex. We had twice weekly dr visits for ultrasounds and dopplers. They ended up inducing me at 37 wks. She has no problems. She is just a little small. you want to make sure they monitor you. Did they tell you that you were iugr?
