Question 1

i'm going to a high risk ob gyn monday but i'm going to see a nurse, not the dr... why?? i need to he seen by a dr

Accepted Answer

You will: at some point. Likely they will have a nurse practitioner see you first. NP's are extensively trained, and usually extremely competent. In either event, the doctor will be readily available, and they can easily get him or her if there is some sort of problem. Hope this helps!

Question 2

i'm 40. husband and i want to have a 4th child. too old? also, i take 1 mg of klonopin (clonazepam) day for anxiety. my high risk ob said its fine. do you agree?

Accepted Answer

Please clarify: Not sure if you mean your OB said it's ok to continue Klonopin (clonazepam) while trying to become pregnant and during the pregnancy or just while trying to conceive. I would defer to guidance of your OB as long as you trust and respect your doctor. That said, if you can manage on a lower dose through pregnancy with some relaxation strategies, that is worth trying. Best wishes for a healthy fourth child!

Question 3

i'm trying to hard to find an excellent high risk ob/gyn but my search isn't going as i planned. how do i know who is best! i have medicaid?

Accepted Answer

Go to university cen: If you have had a history of complicated pregnancies ,your best bet is to find a University center clinic where you have anumber of specialists who can work together to treat you.

Question 4

am high risk ob patient, moving, how to find new doctor?

Accepted Answer

Medical Society: Either contact the local medical society or call the nearest labor & delivery unit and ask whom you should see. Sometimes your nurses can be your greatest asset, ask them who they'd send their own daughter to. There's also the local phone book but this can be random and it's difficult to get the info you need. Also ask your current doc, they may know someone. Good luck on your pregnancy.

Question 5

i am effaced at 28 weeks with twins. high risk ob said to go on bed rest but ob said keep working. who do i believe? we need the money.

Accepted Answer

Stop working!: The safest way to deliver preterm babies that may or may not survive is to not heed the advice of your maternal-fetal medicine doctor; continuing to work while carrying twins unnecessarily puts your family at risk of having two very preterm babies with possible life-long health problems. I understand you need the money - but the alternative would cost much more money in the long-term. Stay at home.

Question 6

im wondering if its ok to masturbate at 9.5 wks pregnant. i have yet to see the high risk ob. i had some spotting in the beggining of my pregnancy. ?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: if you are spotting i would not suggest any activity which can cause stimulation of the uterus until seen by your OB.

Question 7

where can i find an ob-gyn for high risk pregnancies?

Accepted Answer

High risk specialist: Try the web page of the hospital you would like to deliver in. They usually list maternal fetal medicine specialists on staff.

Question 8

with mo-di twins arent i suppose to see a high risk doctor i also had a mymectomy last year this wld be my first c-section im 20 weeks+2 i see a ob?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Twins delivery is a high risk pregnancy always. You can ask you doc for a neonatology or fetal-maternal medicine doctor antenatal consult.

Question 9

ob said based on my blood protein checking for risk of birth defects like down syndrome or spinabifida my risk is 1 out of 189. is this a high risk?

Accepted Answer

Relative: You need to simply take that information and realize that there is a 188 out of 189 chance all will be fine. Many ob's can have you discuss with counselors as knowing the relative risk of birth defects can be anxiety causing, and they can often discuss the results with you in better detail as needed.  Best wishes.

Question 10

severe cramps last for hrs at 4.5wks, high risk for clotting, elevated plt, on lovenox, (enoxaparin) hcg@148, p4@7. ob worries abt threatened abortion due to clot-related implantation problem. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Or else: It could mean that due to your risk of clotting that might interfer with the implantation and a failed implantation can miscarriage. Ask your doctor for a more detailed explaination.
