Thank you for your kind words and your ...Hi ladies. Thank you for your kind words and your thoughts. I need all the positive thoughts and prayers I can get! Unfortunately, the perinatologist I am seeing is the only one in my immediate area (the closest would be about an hour away). I don't really have the mental strength to travel anywhere else to see another peri. I also feel like he should have some sort of connection to me (because I went to him when pregnant with Shiloh), instead of treating me like a number. I think I need to have a long talk with him during my appointment this Friday. Fingers crossed that I get through to him.The New Simonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04047152574363664826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126131093430356896.post-86649226187493787112010-09-21T20:42:28.014-07:002010-09-21T20:42:28.014-07:00Here from LFCA.

I will be sending you good thoughts that things work out and that you'll have less cause to worry soon!Justine Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190295175501659469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126131093430356896.post-15679147743771973832010-09-21T19:58:46.907-07:002010-09-21T19:58:46.907-07:00Oh My Goodness!

If your OB is on board, honestly, to me, that would make my decision a lot easier, since he/she is with you in the ins and outs.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126131093430356896.post-90927327613197109772010-09-21T19:57:43.148-07:002010-09-21T19:57:43.148-07:00Oh this is so unfair, I'm so sorry you're ...Oh this is so unfair, I'm so sorry you're dealing with more fears and worries. How terrifying, glad you have Dr. Collins, but I agree why in the hell are these other doctors not on board?! It is ridiculous you're being forced to fight for what you need to keep this baby healthy! <br />Hoping things settle down a bit for you & above all that this baby stays healthy. <br />~LFCArebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480554666969330506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126131093430356896.post-89814558615280896112010-09-20T14:17:23.836-07:002010-09-20T14:17:23.836-07:00I agree with Annie about Dr. shopping.

I bet your OB would interface with another peri?<br /><br />xoxo!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17481240012351004893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126131093430356896.post-88848706719909807752010-09-19T22:30:00.512-07:002010-09-19T22:30:00.512-07:00Oh, Rachel, I wish could take over the worrying fo...Oh, Rachel, I wish could take over the worrying for you for a bit so you could have a break. I'm good at worrying! I'm SO glad you were able to see Dr. Collins and get the monitor. I hope it will give you some peace of mind. I'm VERY UPSET with your OB though! Could you get in with a perinatologist based on your history and Dr. Collins findings? The one I saw recently said that if I get pregnant, I could come in every day if I want to get checked on. She also recognizes that cord accidents DO recur. I know there are limitations with insurance, location, etc when looking for a doctor, but is it possible to do a little doctor shopping? I hate that we have to fight so hard to be taken seriously!! I'm praying for you and your baby.<br /><br />PS If there's any good cord info you've come across that's not already on my blog, please let me know so I can add it.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12316978989809741699noreply@blogger.com
