| momof2princesses 8/10/2003 | . | Hello Everyone, I was just wondering is it normal to have some lower back pain and headaches soon after a miscarriage, I just had a m/c monday and my back has been hurting the past couple days, just the lower back on both sides. And I have been having terrible headaches, I attribute the headaches to the stress and the crying spells, but have any of you experienced this? Also I have been reading a lot of the posts and it seems like a lot of you have u/s after your miscarriage and my dr. hasn't mentioned anything about that, is that routine or just in particular situations? I kind of feel like my dr. thinks this is no big deal, but I feel kind of abandoned by her. I haven't heard from her since the day it happened. SHe told me then to come back in 2 weeks to have my Hcg tested , but thats it. How do I know everything is okay? thanks! K |
| kellied 8/10/2003 C1 | . | Hi, I would think she would do an u/s at that checkup as well. From what I remember my OB felt my uterus manually and then ordered an ultrasound...they will check your bleeding etc. My OB called me the night I miscarried as well as twice in the following week to make sure I was doing ok. She also prescribed me anti-depressants and told me to fill them if I felt i needed to. She also gave me a sample of anti depressants (a month's supply). i think she was very thorough. i hope yours makes you feel better about the situation. When I thought i was miscarrying last weekend i called the on call doc at my ob's office and she even was very tender and sensitive on the phone. |

| momof2princesses 8/10/2003 C3 | Kellied | She doesn't even want to see me that visit, she just wants me to come in for the lab work and thats it. They told me I didn't need to come back and see her unless we had trouble getting pregnant after two months of trying. I thought it sounded a little strange, I would think they'd want to check me out and make sure everything is back to normal and my levels are good and ready. Do you think I should get a second opinion? I just feel like she thinks its no big deal and I feel like it is a HUGE deal. I don't know maybe I am being to selfish? Thanks a lot Kellied! I hope your doing good, I'll check back on tuesday to see how your appt. went . Good luck, K |
| kellied 8/10/2003 C4 | momof2princesses | Oh I would definitely get another opinion. YOU need to feel comfortable. I'm SO sorry you have to go through this on top of everything else. I will definitely be thinking about you! I would INSIST on another u/s just for your peace of mind. or find another OB. In fact, I was having such heavy periods and just didn't feel right I asked for another u/s in July to make sure there was nothing retained in my uterus still. Mine was totally supportive of doing whatever made me feel comfortable. Let me know what happens...HUGS! if you need to vent or anything..email me @ benswifey@hotmail.com | [Thread closed to new comments] |
