Thank you guys fir all the hair pats before. I'm so relieved! Obviously, it's still terrifying, but I'm glad to have at least cleared this hurdle.
Would you believe that the doctor who scanned me was the same who did out last one, when I miscarried. Same room, same doctor--I was already in tears when he came in, lol.
cherryvalance- I've had the same tech scan me and tell me about more then one miscarriage. I also hate the room in emergency where 2 or my losses were confirmed by the doctor. It's hard to go to the same place after bad news like that.
I can sympathize with everyone who's had to face the same environment where they found out about a loss. The Fetal Medicine Unit at my hospital in London was obviously smaller than the rest of the prenatal unit. It only had 1 fetal cardiologist, and he clearly had his own room that he preferred to use. He was the one who told us about V's heart problem (which led to us finding out her genetic diagnosis). He was also the one who performed A's 14 week and 20 week scans. Even though we'd had good CVS results, I was still incredibly nervous going in there to see him. I'm also pretty sure the same doctor performed my CVS as the one who did the termination, and of course, the same midwives worked there. I often had to go up to that unit to see my therapist, which was SO not ideal but at least, through exposure, minimized the PTSD for when I had to see the doctors there about A. I often saw women exiting an exam room crying.
