Dear Luanne,

Sounds to me like you got a terrible deal! Doctors are people and as such will all do different things in different ways. I think most of the doctors I know probably would have come to examine you personally or kept you overnight and seen you in the AM.

I must regretfully (please understand) advise the OBGYN.net Doctors not to comment on your question because it does have legal implications that are outside the scope of this forum.

The best answer, and the one I would be actively seeking if I were you is the answer from your personal OB.

I am so very sorry to hear you lost the baby. Please do not take this as a rebuff and stop participating. It is a fine line our doctors walk by participating in the forum at all. It is our job at OBGYN.net to keep them out of potentially difficult situations.

IMHO You should definately switch groups if you cannot get satisfactory answers to your very salient questions.

Warmest Regards,

Roberta
