[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there’s another tech at that office, ask for her. Otherwise, it sounds bizarre but give her one more chance. If things are weird next time, just talk to your doctor about your concerns. [/quote]

OP here. Hopefully I do not have to go back to this office. The doctor there ( who is not my obgyn) recommended that I do transvaginal ultrasounds. She said we can see if my obgyn is ok with this. She wanted me to consent to this treatment and start scheduling them every 2 weeks. This was all based on what I told the doctor about my previous premature birth. They did not have access to my records. I don't think I actually have incompetent cervix. This is the first time I have ever heard this.

Talk to YOUR obgyn ASAP. It sounds like they were pressuring you to do future tests you may not really need. [/quote]

I would not disregard them so quickly. OP you had a premature birth (how premature BTW?) and you expressed no interest or curiosity in why that happened? That really doesn't make sense. I had a first pregnancy that ended early and dramatically and what  happened in that first pregnancy significantly impacted my treatment plans for my second and third pregnancy. I think it is a sign that your doctors are trying to take care of you that they're trying to get to the bottom of your first premature birth in order to prevent a second premature birth.

The tech asking those questions makes total sense as they would look for signs of whatever caused the first birth and maybe its not normal for every woman to know the sex at 20 weeks, but it is abnormal for a mother of a preemie to have no idea why her baby was a preemie and who seems mad and confused about why her current medical team would find that information important and relevant.

I think its fine to ask for another tech but it doesn't sound like she was negligent to me and as other PPs have said, a doctor reads teh results of the ultrasound. Did a doctor not come in and talk to you about the results after the scan? [/quote]
