Oops! guess I wont answer after all...not a doctor, though as one trained in well-woman care, pregnancy, childbearing I probably would be as, if not more, comfortable answering than, say, a neurologist (or other doctor other than OB/GYN or family practice.) might. Those holding degrees and initials after their names might, indeed, be the best person to ask...not always. Beware of the 'docotr as God' syndrome. Perhaps the best way to avoid 'wasting your time' might be to ask your obstetrician...the doctor you hired specifically for instances such as this.
