Almost 5 weeks seen my gp today? ?

Question

hi there seen my gp today to confirm pregnancy and to ask about possible Early scan as i miscarried at 10 weeks in april ,but my doctor said i do not need a scan as i have three healthy children and she said most women miscarried at least once in their life and she thinks i've got a 98% chance of carry this one and just to think positive i told her ive been having like period cramps but she said normal would you be happy with that? also i am allergic to folic acid and she said there is nothing else she can give me instead so what should i eat thanksxx

Answer 1

foods that are rich in iron such as spinach broccoli cabbage. if you are unsure about her advice on the cramps seek a second check up elsewhere  after all it is your baby not hers, i think its too easy for docs to say everything's fine they can go home at the end of the day and not have to think about it

Answer 2

Hello u... Congratulations on your fantastic news. You might not remember me? I miscarried in April too, but got preggers again within a month. I had early scan cos doc didn't think I could actually get preg again so soon. I am now 19 - 20 weeks. I am sure this one will go well for you. I think eat lots of green leafy veg if you can? Congrats again xx
