I am up for the honest truth no matter what it is.
The only two pregnancies I have ever had have both resulted in a loss. I think there is no point candy coating anything but am also aware that opinions differ between various medical staff.

I think if someone asks and there is a strong possibility for a bad outcome its better to know that so you can then hope for the best and not be told the worst outcome then get it. IYKWIM.

I don't like the way some medical people don't tell you whats going on or if there is reason to be concerned (a midwife did that to me) that actually makes you stress and worry more. Or turn a blind eye, if I hadn't taken your advice Alan, Nikita would have been born at work at 21 weeks and there would have been nothing anyone could do to save her!

Just my opinion

I'd want to be told the truth no matter what but at the same time there's no point in worrying until you know for sure.

So in saying that, if I had symptoms that didn't sound good and you thought I should get checked out and could prevent problems in doing so, then I think absolutely give all the info. If its a case of "the OB says I may have xxxxx" then I think reserve the info until I know for sure after testing etc is done. Personally, I worry WAY too much about "what if's"

Alan I am one of those who will research till the end on google etc I would rather if it is bad if you can tell me and then what I can do to lessen the risk hope this helps

Hi, I would like to know the facts no matter how bad it was, not a head in the sand kind of person, much to my emotional detrimet at times, but still would rather know than the sugar coated version, or straight out avoidance.
Thanks for the opportunity to tell you how we feel.

I would definately want to know your honest and real opinion!! This may be enough to get me or someone else to the doctor and potentially prevent a serious complication. Sometimes you think you are overreacting by asking the dr every little question, however on here i feel i can ask anything without judgement - and i guess i do expect an honest and direct response from you (no pressure!!). Thanks for being here for us.
