Just a short intro. Found out I was pregnant on Valentine's Day (First baby). Hubby is overjoyed. Met my family doctor on 16th Feb to confirm, referred me to his Gynae friend. Visited Gynae on 18th Feb.
Gynae did vaginal ultrasound. Baby in correct position, no worries on ectopic pregnancy. However, Doctor said very insensitive things like your fetus is 'too significantly small, it might not live'. No details, no explanations, no words of comfort, I did ask why and what can I do. Just said to come back in 2 weeks' time and that 1 in 8 babies die for no reason.
Based on his method of counting, my last period started on 7 Jan. So he counted about 5-6weeks. Hubby and I are quite sure it happened on 25 Jan. However, Gynae refused to comment when I asked if the size was normal for 3-4 weeks fetus.
Firstly, I do not know how to work with a gynae who is so cold.
Secondly, hoping that some moms-to-be can help. Is 0.6mm* too small? I can't wait two weeks. I worry so much I can't sleep, can't work.
Last but not least, should I be seeking a second opinion? Or should I go back to him? Our first visit costed us $100+, it is not cheap. Or is it?
