So, i went to ER last night and they checked for an ectopic pregnancy. In an ultrasound they were able to see the sac that the baby is in, but the baby itself is to little to see on its own. But they were concerned because the week before i found out i was pregnant i had a cat scan done. And they are worried about the effects that the radiation will have on my baby. The Doctor had the nerve to tell me that if i didn't miscarry, which i probably would that i should get an abortion. I was mortified. So i went home and looked everything up online. And basically everything says i wasn't far enough along to do any damage to the baby (i was only 3 weeks along) and the amount of radiation in one cat scan wouldn't do anything anyways. So that calmed me down a bit but i am still really worried, and now i am angry because the hospital did a urine pregnancy test when i had my cat scan but not blood..when i went there two years ago for na outpatient cat scan they did a blood pregnancy test so they weren't liable for any harm done to the baby if i was pregnant...So why didn't they do a pregnancy test with blood last week??? I am scared something will be wrong with my baby....i am not as scared as i was last night but i am very worried....

that's the most absurd thing a dr. could tell someone!!! I would be so angry, what a bitch!! But i think 3 weeks is really early like you said. Just wait til like 7 weeks so u can see the heartbeat and im sure everything will be okay. Ill keep you and ur baby in my thoughts. = )

thank you, Yeah i wish there was something i could do to get that Dr. in trouble or something, thats not even right...I was at a hospital that has one of the best neonatal units in the country.. but then a Dr suggests that i abort my baby.... its insane...idk.. i'm really angry and i'm still really scared...i am sure that i am ok and i know my Dr will keep a close eye on things, but i can't help but worry after hearing those things...i just don't know what to do about that...its not right that some one can act like that to someone....
