Regarding first trimester bleeding and early pregnancy loss, we are able to provide the following for stable patients:

  • Management of inevitable losses, threatened miscarriages, and first trimester bleeding of unknown significance.
  • Management of missed abortions (both expectant and medical); referral to our local OB/Gyn team for surgical management.
  • Follow-up including ultrasounds and ß-hCGs if indicated.
  • Referral to mental health and/or social work support if indicated.
  • Phone advice regarding any of the above issues.

If possible, we suggest the following be done prior to referral:

  • Lab work
    • ABO/Rh
  • Ultrasound to confirm pregnancy location and viability

If these are not done prior to the patient’s appointment with us, we can arrange the testing and review the results with the patient.
