Well we had a little scare today...

I was told by the OB triage nurse to go to the hospital this morning due to some bleeding/cramping. I went in and all that the ER doc kept telling me is that I was either having a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. They did blood work and sent me to u/s. I found out that I am 6 weeks and 3 days. I also got to hear my NON miscarried baby's heartbeat and it was amazing. The radiologist told me the bleeding was due to some hemorrhaging that happens sometimes during implantation and it is quite normal, just check at the first appointment. The E.R. doctor kept telling me that even though everything is perfect now there could always be a miscarriage. I wanted to shoot her, I understand this could happen but right now everything is OK. The baby's heart beat was also very strong considering how early the pregnancy was- so HA E.R. doctor. I swear all they do is prepare you for the worst and freak you out when you don't need to be.

It sounds harsh, but they are medically obligated to tell you that. Good luck!

She is just doing her job.  A diagnosis needs to be made and "threatened miscarriage" is what you are going to get from an ER visit with any type of bleeding in the first trimester.

Then why would you say something about wanting to shoot her if you know it is her job?

 This.  She may not have had the best bedside manner, but she was doing her job.  I'm an ER nurse, DH is an ER physician and I find your comment extraordinarily offensive.  Glad you had the ability to get to an ER, see an ER physician, and get some reassurance.

I had the same exact thing happen to me around 7 weeks and 3 days, we went to the ER and they kept saying pinpoint hemmorage and miscarriage.  I was seen at my OB's office on the following Monday and they saw no area for concern.  Now I am 10 weeks and 2 days.  I was happy to see the u/s and a strong heartbeat for the baby too!
