Mmmm. I'd call and ask that Dr Hurley does the scans. Also, see if you can get them bulk billed.

We also now have a thing that's important to us when having scans. We want the dr to tell us, as they do the scan, what they're seeing and if they have any concerns. Dont leave us lying there for minutes wondering or referring us to someone else to give us bad news.

I dont know much about placental abruption or it's chance of reoccurance, but I have done a lot of reading on health in pregnancy and apparently diet plays a huge role in placental health. You may be interested in reading about the Brewer pregnancy diet.

From memory, there's a box you tick on the form you fill in about if you want to know the sex. If you dont get Dr Hurley, say upfront to the technician, we have had a previous loss due to placental abruption. We are extremely anxious, so we need you to tell us what is going on, including telling us the sex, hb, placenta etc. if you cant do it, get your DH to do it for you.
