Should I be seeing a peri yet? (m)
Besides that issue, I had a singleton pregnancy last time with preterm labor starting at 29 weeks, and i was on bedrest for 6 weeks, had terbutaline 5 times to stop contractions in that time, and gave birth at 35w3d. Also, I have PCOS and am weaning off my Metformin, to stop that when I'm 13wks pg. I did the glucose testing 4 times a day throughout the last pregnancy, even though I never tested positive with the glucose tolerance test. The levels were pretty good, and I was able to stay under the limits with diet. This time the OB has told me to eat regularly and they will just do a GTT at 18 weeks. I'm a little concerned, because I'm starting out 20lbs heavier than last time.
My OB's office was scheduling my next visit at 12weeks, and had to ask around in the office to find out how long to give for a twin u/s, because they had never scheduled one before. Does that sound like something to be concerned about?
If I don't do anything else between now and my 12 wk visit and u/s, I plan to ask the dr at what point they would refer me to a peri (the OB did mention that if needed, they had specialists nearby). The OB practice I'm in rotates DRs each visit you have during your pg.
What are the guidelines for when to seek treatment by a peri instead of an OB?
Thank you!
