It's terrifying. A friend of a friend of my wife just lost her baby. It was something that would have been easily seen in a routine screening, but because of COVID the OB/GYN wasn't having patients come to the office. It's heart breaking.

Are you saying she wouldn't have lost the baby if she had a routine screen or it would have given her the ability to deal with the issue a litle bit easier by planning a dnc?

I've been part of many miscarriages and doctors can tell you something is wrong but rarely can they fix anything before 12 weeks.

I honestly don't know, I'm several hops away from the source, but when my wife told me it sounded like they could have saved the baby had they known.
