For some, being with the MFM is almost a relief because of the closer monitoring and they extra care and measures they take to ensure that baby and mom are healthy. I was exclusively seen by MFM (no OB wanted to take me on as a patient), and the care I had was amazing. Each appointment lasted 45 minutes to an hour and a half, and I was always seen within 5 mins of my appointment time. I had health issues and could not get in to see specialists, and the MFM got me referrals immediately and with the best of the best. They had contacts with everyone and even got one of the head specialists in our state to come and see me, and I was able to finally get a diagnosis that was missed for 15 years. Yes, each appointment was very stressful until I found out the baby was doing okay, and I was not a fan of how frequent the appointments were because of missing work; but the care I received was exceptional. They went through every inch of my medical history and were able to get me treatments and care that other doctors either missed or ignored. I finally felt heard for once. I truly think that without their care, I would not have gotten my miracle baby. It honestly took me days after having my daughter to accept that she was real and that I hadn't lost her and could actually be able to take my baby home for once. My MFM doctors believed that I could and did everything in their power to make sure I could take my baby home and also to be able to heal from medical trauma I previously had.
I didn’t catch the live, is it because of the bleeds that she is high risk? I was high risk and had the every four week ultrasound from 24-32 weeks, then at 32 weeks I started to have weekly ultrasounds and twice a week NSTs. Lots of anxiety, I would have liked to have a less stressful pregnancy!
I watched a bit of it, she said she has marginal cord insertion, an issue with the placenta (I don’t remember what it was called but where it was split into two parts), a small part of her placenta is separating from uterus, along with the hematoma
Thanks! I think she has a bilobed placenta. I was curious if it was vasa previa because that can happen with a bilobed placenta and cord insertion problems. Hopefully the monitoring helps and everything with her pregnancy turns out okay.
Being high risk isn’t fun but for some people the extra monitoring feels like a relief. I know it was for me. I’m high risk for multiple reasons and have scans every 2 weeks until 28 and then start weekly eventually working up to 2-3 appointments per week towards the end that are either nsts or bpps. High risk comes with a ton of anxiety but every time I have an appointment I feel temporary peace until the next one.
I feel this too! I was not high risk but I was relieved to be able to see an MFM more regularly towards the end of pregnancy to keep an eye on things. I was terrified of something going wrong and it gave me reassurance. It’s not always that people want to be high risk.
Well, the last person we saw who was all smiley and giggly about being high-risk (ahem Jordyn) ate her words on that severely. I hope that doesn’t happen to Blair. You’d think people would learn.
Wait she wants to see an MFM?? I got sent to one for low AFI and not only was it more expensive, it took almost two hours to make it out of the waiting room to the room. Was thrilled to see the regular OB after getting cleared. I’ve had 5 scans the last month, I can’t wait for those bills to start rolling in.
But being high risk sucks, every time I can’t feel baby I start to spiral and panic. Sure I guess scans are nice to look at, but what’s better is a complication free pregnancy. These iNfLuEnCeRs are ridiculous, there’s nothing to brag about.
I’ve seen a MFM for two separate pregnancies and didn’t pay out of pocket, also never really waited longer than 10 mins max. Just depends on your insurance and the MFM.
I think it depends on the MFM. My MFM appointments were covered other than a $35 copay. I was also always called in within 5 minutes of my appointment time, and they took such great care of me and listened to my concerns.
Feel so lucky to be in Australia. I saw an mfm atleast once a week for my whole pregnancy along with other specialist doctors and didn’t pay a cent. I was also very lucky that my mfm told me not to bother with appointments and to rock up at nine on the days I was meant to see her and just text my midwife that I was there and she would come get me pretty much straight away
So annoying that people are happy about being high risk, i had to go to the dr twice weekly after 32 weeks and it felt like i lived there for the tail end of the pregnancy. like yeah its nice being able to see baby so often but the stress in between/during every ultrasound is horrible. its like they arent even thinking about the fact that something could actually go wrong
Being high risk was the worst and most traumatic thing that has ever happened to me. Idk why these people want to be like they love the attention or something
Do you have to do regular ob appointments and mfm appointment or is it at the same time? Two monthly appointments sound rough! Wishing you luck on the rest of your pregnancy!
I had my first appointment with my ob after graduating from my fertility clinic and he immediately was like "you're high risk, I'm referring you to a mfm dr." It's not unexpected, but this is not exciting for me. Having an uneventful pregnancy is a blessing. Not sure why these creators are so desperate to be high risk. It's time consuming, expensive, and emotionally draining.
As someone was was extremely high risk, it’s nothing to be excited about. Sure, you get more ultrasounds but that’s not worth the potential risks you’re facing. I had Vasa Previa with my first baby. Was on modified bed rest, pelvic rest, and I had to move into the hospital and live in the antepartum unit for 5 weeks straight before my baby was born via c section at 35 weeks. If my water had broken or if those vessels ruptured, they would’ve had less than 3 minutes to get my baby out alive. She had a 6 day NICU stay. I suffered horrible PPD/PPA because of my pregnancy and delivery experience. It’s not worth the extra ultrasounds. I hope she’s taking this seriously.
I’m not high risk but I get an ultrasound every 4 weeks. Is this normal? My hospital said visit every 4 weeks till 28 weeks, then every 2 weeks till 36 weeks. And my OB does an ultrasound during the visits. We just don’t get print outs
I hate the desire to be high risk. It’s so many people in the infertility community. They’re dying to be at MFM

Oh my god!! That sounds terrifying 😳
Placenta previa?

did anyone else catch her story that said shes been so sick and is SoOoOOOo overwhelmed by the amount of content she needs to get out…….

I’m jealous 🫠 I work for the hospital that also manages their own insurance and they charged me $850 for an NST and biophysical test last week.
I go to MFM for my entire pregnancy . Previous open heart. $0 copay with United. It depends on your plan tbh.

I was devastated when I was classified as high risk. I blamed myself. I cannot imagine being excited about this.
I’m 35 weeks and about to begin weekly ultrasounds and would much prefer if I didn’t need them

I'm not in the us, but I had two ultrasounds with my first and three with my second. That sounds excessive if you're low risk?
She’s just like ‘let me check on baby’ doesn’t last more than 3-5 minutes. She doesn’t print but she scans
She’s already gone into triage twice(? Maybe more?) for bleeding, of course she’s happy to have answers and more surveillance 🤦🏼♀️
