IMPORTANT QUESTION

[OctoberBaby5]

I got a letter in the mail today from my midwife, its an appointment for the ob gyn on Thursday at 2:15. I dont go to the obgyn I have a midwife. And I already have my normal appointment with my midwife the same day only in the morning and all this paper says is "primary/billing diagnosis: supervision of normal first pregnancy.
reason for referral:OB US.
Clinical information/comments: OB US for anatomy. Prior US had limited views of sagittal spine." Thats all it says. And a sticky note where she wrote."keep this appointment"
in sorry if it sounds like a rant but im *****ED bc I didn't get a call or anything and the paper doesnt have a specific reason as to why I need this appointment. She sent it to me on a fuc*ing weekend so I cant call and ask why until monday so I have two whole days to think about all the things that could possibly be wrong for me to need this appointment.  About 10 weeks ago I was told I didnt need anymore and wouldn't have anymore unltrasounds and I was never told anything about this appointment so I have no idea what its for and im freaking out. Like a lot. My question is has anybody had this happen? Or is this expected? Cause I know nothing about this. she never mention this. So im scared. Please someone help ease my mind bc im freaking out. Thanks

During my sons anatomy scan I had to come back 2 wks later so they can get good pics of his heart and spine cause he was laying a certain way and the couldn't c it too good. They just like to have the pics on file to make sure everything looks normal. They probably reviewed ur file and weren't satisfied with the pics and just want to get ones with better views of her spine I wouldn't worry. They would have called if it was serious.

[OctoberBaby5]

Oh okay. Thank you I was really freaking out.. and oh she has a spine now cause she moves non stop lol

[OctoberBaby5]

Yeah thats what bothered me that she told me I wouldn't get anymore unltrasounds at all bc she was healthy so when she just throws this at me all I can think is what changed that I now need an ultrasound when shes the one who told me I wouldn't...

If it makes you feel any better...its usually due to positioning as to why they cant see a certain thing. Likely is that she forgot to mention this to you, but the US tech cant see all the chambers in my babys heart  but they hear no irregularities and its because she was in the breech position. They couldnt see her spine either but she wouldnt be able to move if she didnt have a spine.

It seems like the person who did your anatomy scan is reffering you for another scan to see if they can see babys spine a little better.
This happend to me because they couldnt see all 4 chambers of my babys heart. They just gave a paper to my ob and said to get me in sometime again. Lol  thats weird how they told you you werent going to need any more US though. My ob reviewed my us when i went to my appt :/

Its just that she didn't warn me or anything my last appointment a week ago and so idk what that means and it scares me especially since at the begging of my pregnancy she was supposed to do testing and I had to ask her about it bc she had "forgot" to do it and im just like what if it ws important and she cant even remember to do it im just sitting here with an appointment and no explanation and ive had two miscarriages before this so im so scared something is gonna go wrong with my baby bc everything has been so smooth and things are never that easy for me something bad always happens thats why im so scared

It's for the sagittal spine views of the baby's spine. Your most likely getting another ultrasound. No reason to be pissed that happend to me with my first baby. I don't see midwives though
