Hello Dr Braun,
Thankyou for your reply. I wasn't clear with my question. I work in a
critical care setting, and my insurance requested the u/s with regards
to my wishing to work passed 24 weeks as I had some 1st trimester
bleeding and work for long (12) hours on my feet. I hope that this
clears things up!!
Thanks for the advice..I sure will take this up with my dr (about the
pains)
Thanks again
