Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello everyone! I guess my situation is a bit different from others, since I am now 36 weeks pregnant and just found out that somewhere along the way my U/S showed there was an EIF. Here is how it happened: had my weekly appt at the Dr.'s office today. The office is ran by a team of 4 doctors, with the last one just joining the team as recently as of last week. I did not feel comfortable seeing someone "new" so far along my pregnancy, but decided to give him a try. To my dismay, the new Dr. asked me about why I didn't do the amnio (I'm 35, all tests I was told were "normal), and I explained to him that I felt the risk of miscarriage was higher than that of a chromosomal abnormality. He then proceeded to explain to me that the reason he asked was because there was a note in my chart stating that an "echogenic loci" was seen at some point during one of the ultrasounds I had during the first 1/2 of the pregnancy. This finding was NEVER mentioned to me by any of the other doctors. Not once. I feel frustrated and have become very anxious regarding the kind of care I've received all these months, and whether or not this team of Drs really are doing their job properly. I know this is panic setting now that I'm so close to delivery, and I just don't know how to handle this situation. I feel like changing doctors as soon as tomorrow morning, but I don't know if anyone will take me this far along.
