Aa
I am upset at the moment!!!!!
Okay, so I am suppose to go for my 3d/4d U/S on wed....all I needed my midwife to do was a sign a paper saying that yes I am a patient of hers and everything so far is going well with my pregnancy. Well she won't!!! Why? Because she doesn't agree with 4d U/S. She sent me this site that states all this stuff about these kinds of U/S. I know there is always a slight risk when having an U/S done. They are saying that some of these places could be breaking the law. She also said that if I want a medical U/S, she will refer me to someone. I don't understand! What's the difference between a medical U/S and a 4d one? Am being close-minded about this? Please be honest with me. I never heard of anything bad happening. I know that if you are getting too many U/S during your pregnancy it's not a wonderful thing unless you need to be monitored, but I have only had one and that was at 8 weeks. I think I have done pretty good. I just don't understand and I am getting upset with my midwife now....I need to calm down..............I usually don't get this upset over things!
I don't it's terrible that you have had 4 ultrasounds since you needed them done. My mother had an ultrasound with my little sister almost every other week. My lil sis is very bright and VERY intelligent. Have to brag on her! lol. If you need them then you need them. I don't really think anything is proven 100%. You should be fine getting a 3D/4D done. I can have mine with no problem, it's just my midwife is against them.
I know.... I am thinking about switching but I dunno....I am almost there and although I do know another midwife that I trust, just not sure since I already starting making payments and whatnot. My midiwife and I do agree on having a natural child birth, so I guess that is very important to agree on. =) Everything else I guess is just personal opinions. For my next child I will definitely switch. It was really confusing because I had a midwife before her but she was in a terrible car accident and was forced to retire. She is still going to allow me to give birth at her office since I don't want a homebirth. I'm not sure I will be able to use her office in the future. So I guess I can deal with it for a few more weeks here. I will just listen to her side and do what I think is right. I have decided to not get stressed about it since I know it does nothing good for the baby.
Miko....Actually the place I am going to just needs my U/S pic from when I was 8 weeks just to prove that I am indeed under a doctor's care. I just wanted her to sign the paper in case I needed it if the writing on the photo is not clear enough. But I am sure it will be fine. She never said that she won't sign it, but she said never yes to it either. She is VERY against it, so I doubt she would give her consent anyway. They say that the waves are the same as a regular ultrasound. They are usually concerned because it's longer than a "normal" u/s. My appt is only going to be 20 min. long. Actually the one I had at 8 weeks was longer than that!! don't get me started again...LOL But I do appreciate all of your support and advice!!! =)

Hmmm I thought you could just go get it done and period. I hope my doctor is ok with it I really want one. I have had so far four ultrasounds. Is that bad??? At first they were checking me often because of my two misscariages so I had two extra done.
Ohhh...man, I'll be pissed off. Does the 4D place require a doctor's signanture?? The place I'm going to isn't asking for one, but you know what lemme just call and double check because I will be MAD if I can't without one. Shouldn't it be your personal choice as to what you want to do. I dunno an ultrasound is an ultrasound to me, it's a big old thing with a little thing going on your stomach (lol) so I don't see what the big difference is of course besides the view, but still. I mean, How is it a higher risk...
i say get a new midwife...
to me you know the person you wanna marry and you can't explain how you know..
same thing with the person who is going to deliver your baby,
if it doesn't feel right, it's not.
do you really wanna to have someone who is not on the same page as you in the delivery room? what if you decide you want pain relief and she is against it?
i know it's late in your pregnancy, but it's never too late to switch. i switched and i am so glad i did! i stopped being angry and frustrated after leaving the office and started being happy and calm, that alone is worth it.
