YES your friend needs a new OB! This provider is not giving her the care
or compassion she needs. There are afew tests that can be done for her,
and should be done. Furthermore, nothing is more painful and
devastating than losing a preganncy, be it at 4 weeks or 40 weeks. I am
sorry for your friends losses as I have been there too. Give her a big
hug, a shoulder to cry on, and help her find a good OB.
