Emily I am sorry your are experiencing all these worries. It is not
good practice nor appropriate for them to tell you about the cord around
the neck and send you on your way without discussing with you what that
means in terms of safety for your unborn child. You have way too many
worries and concerns that need to be addressed by your Dr. Why not call
the office and schedule an appt time to come in and address all these
fears. That's what you pay the Drs for and I think any good OB would be
happy to put your mind at ease. Your Dr is not an effective Dr if he is
unwilling to give you time in the office to get your questions answered.
I hope things turn out well.
