maybe u can ask him/her to introduce to u ah

作者: happyface 時間: 2009-6-22 17:07

I know, but she doesn't really know who's good who's bad actually. So, I am thinking just choose the hospital first. Do you know Women's hospital, Burnaby hospital and Richmond Hospital which one of these is good?

Yes, actually every OB delivery babies in the hospital where she/he belongs to. The OB who delivery my first baby was in Richmond hospital, once you arrived hospital they will contact your OB to come. I did hear some people say that other Doctor will delivery baby for you if your OB is not available on that day.

My friend just got pregnant and her first appointment with her Obstetrician is 2 months from now. She will be 4 months pregnant by then and this is her first visit. I heard the first 3 months is the most important. Her Obstetrician is the same one, the lady who speaks Chinese and works in Women's hospital.

The family doctor of your friend should send her to the first ultrasound appointment around the 7th week, this is to ensure the heartbeat of the fetus and the overall condition of the developing uterus.

Do you mind a male OB? Have you heard of Dr. Henry Woo? http://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/131254/BC/Vancouver/Woo

He knows his stuff and has been delivering babies over 10 years. He delivered most of my friend's children, oldest is over 10 now, and one recently last year. He even delivered my family doctor's children! On the flip side, he's a very busy man (he teaches at UBC as well), and wait times could be long.

I am 16 weeks now, and i won't be able to see my OB until August, which is almost my 6 months... I know there is a site that people left comments of the OB / doctors, so you can always check on that site. I'm gonna delivery my baby in Richmond hospital and my OB is Dr. Laura Heslip.

作者: happyface 時間: 2009-7-1 02:29

My Dr told me that I need to decide where to deliver my baby next time when I see her around July 15th. My family Doc delivered my first baby in Richmond hospital, she's really really good. I need to see her once a month the first couple of months during my pregnancy, and once a week the final month, also 2-3 ultrasound.

Dr said my placenta is low, so that I need to go to ultrasound on week 30 and 36 to make sure. That's my biggest concern now, because I think it's better to go to Women's Hospital if (touch wood) I need c-section. I have no idea if Richmond hospital has the good equipments stuff like that. :<

Really? Ultrasound in the 7th week already? Her family doctor did nothing, just refer her to the OB, which she waits until Aug.

作者: kaimui22 時間: 2009-7-7 23:52

Usually the first ultrasound isn't until the 20th week or so unless they are worried about the viability of your fetus...

Usually it's Dopper at the OB office around 10-11weeks, then ultrasound at 20-21st week. I guess if they cannot hear your baby during the 13th week or so they will send you for an ultrasound. But usually doctors wouldn't send you for an ultrasound that early. They wouldn't be able to see anything until the 8th week or so.

They don't need to do an ultrasound that early to check for the heartbeat...they can use the doppler at the OB office to listen to your baby. It is only if they are worried will they make an ultrasound appointment for you. Also, an ultrasound does not promise that they will be able to see your baby at that early of a stage. They then might request to do an internal vaginal ultrasound (stick the ultrasound reader INTO you, internally) to do a clearer scan.

I've done at least 20+ ultrasounds in the past 2 years..so I'm pretty sure about these processes...

This is not quite the same procedures I get from my Family Doctor, but I guess different family doctors have different approaches.

I had my first ultrasound at week 7 and the heartbeat of the fetus was very strong at that point. To my understanding, if the heartbeat was not detected at week 7, a follow up ultrasound appointment has to be done within 2 weeks, that is to ensure the fetus is growing properly.

The sooner the doctor knows about the health of the fetus, the sooner they can make proper medication decisions, especially during the first trimester.

Hmm..that's weird cause I've been to a maternity clinic and also had 2 different specialists and it's the same procedure (Doppler to detect heartbeat in office, ultrasound at 18-20th week) for both my pregnancies BUT...if your doctor is worried about your health and/or you have an underlying health issue, they might require to do an ultrasound beforehand. But even so...at weeks 7 it's very hard to detect the fetus by ultrasound, unless they do a vaginal ultrasound.

But like you said, every doctor is different. Maybe your doctor was worried about you and that's why she ordered so many tests...

Also they usually do a lot of blood tests in the early weeks to detect if you have any problems or chemical imbalance (not enough iron..etc...). Then if they need to, they will do the chromosome test and also amniocentesis...

anyways, hope all moms have a healthy bb!

And for lizzie : I meant Doppler.
