Help: Does having PCOS, Insulin Resistance, Previous miscarriage make a pregnancy high risk?From: Anna (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 8 Aug 2003 20:29:38 -0500 (CDT)
Hi everyone, In my previous pregnancy of 5 months, I was with a different OB than my current one. She was quite good but her office and the endocrinologist were not really working together which bothered my husband and I. Before we could do something about it, at one of my regular OB checkups I was told there is no heartbeat and there had been a fetal demise. My current OB doctor did my D&E and was very good and specializing in pregnancy complications. I transferred to his overall healthcare group which has endo, high risk OBs etc all communicating through one system which I liked. So one of the things that has been bothering me is although my OB is good, he doesn't have time as he is so popular and his appointments are booked 2 months in advance usually. Also at his clinic there is a rotation with all OBs (so I would have to repeat my history all the time - they never read the notes!). The endo who I am working with asked me not to get pregnant till I lose 30-40 pounds. I am at 27.5 BMI right now. Despite this, my husband and I made the decision to TTC after consultation with a maternal fetal specialist. Now with PCOS, being a borderline diabetic, a previous miscarriage at 21 weeks shouldn't my OB/OB's office proactively be contacting me and putting me on a plan (diet + medication + monitoring)? I can't keep switching doctors but I am very concerned about not getting the care that I think I need. What are things that need to be monitored for pregnant PCOSers (I didn't know I was a PCOSer in my last pregnancy). Thanks for your time. Anna
