Kaib - I can't believe she said that to you!I would have cried me eyes out if it were me! I went into a public hospital for my first m/c d&c and it was terrible. I felt I was treated like just another m/c case instead of a woman who had lost a baby. Their attitude seemed a little 'it's very common, better luck next time'. I don't care how far along the pregnancy is - as far as I'm concerned these prescious little pregnancies were our babies and we are entitled to hold them as close to our hearts as we want to. I've just had my second m/c too and am seeing the most fabulous ob/gyn, he actually offered to do some tests for us before we try again - as you know that doesn't usually happen until you've had 3. There are Dr's out there who will investigate if you want them to, saying that there is nothing wrong with not wanting tests at this stage either. Same goes for the early testing, if you want to then do it. The only person who knows whats best for you is you - trust your own judgement. They haven't found a cause for our m/c's at this stage anyway. Still have a few more to do but have been a pin cushion for the last 6 weeks & the only thing we've found out is that I'm not immuned for chicken pox so have to go off and have a jab for that soon. I am starting to think that we've just been unlucky twice.
Good luck AnnaBelle - hope you get a BFP.
Sorry this is so long but read Kaib's post and that silly locum made me so angry.
