[quote=Anonymous]I just found out I am pregnant with baby #3.  I have been with the same OB/midwives practice with my last two pregnancies.

So I emailed my OB and asked about getting blood work done and then a dating ultrasound between 6-7 weeks. She just wrote back and said we don't typically do blood work since there is nothing we can do about the pregnancy at this point but if you want to have blood work done today and then again in a week (!) we can do that. She also said we don't do an ultrasound that early (even though I have had it done in the past there for dating between 6-7 weeks).

Super annoyed! I emailed back and asked for blood work done today and then follow up in 24-48 hours (instead of a week) and for an ultrasound between 6-7 weeks. I don't feel like I am asking for anything out of the normal. I did the exact same things with my previous pregnancies with this group. I have not used this particular OB before though.

Am I being an annoying patient?  I have had two previous chemical pregnancies before finding out I was pregnant with time around. I am super cautious and nervous with this one even though my lines are getting darker and I am not spotting (like before). [/quote]
