Well I talked the nurse - the doctor was in surgery. She was not at all concerned. I was very upset when I hung up, I am still really hurting and I am afraid I am going to end up losing the baby. She said that since I have had diarreah, that might be why I am having cramps and that I should try something for that. She also said that I might need to change the medicine I have for my UTI (she will check witht the doctor later on that). I really thought they would see me just to make sure everything is OK but I guess not. I told her I had some blood yesterday and she just said "well since it has stopped it is nothing to worry about". Could this be a sign of a miscarriage? When I had my u/s last week, the baby measured 1 wk smaller than it should have but the doctor was not worried. Does that mean there might be a problem? Thanks for listenting!
