Anyone consultant led due to recurrent miscarriage?

If so, were you consultant led the whole way through? Or refered back to midwife?

I was consultant led due to pre term labour (27 weeks) followed by 4 early (6 weeks) miscarriages. I was given progesterone, aspirin and folic acid from the day I got BFP, had an early reassurance scan for the miscarriages then regular growth scans for the preterm labour. I was discharged from consultant care yesterday at 34+5 and back to community midwife.

Yes, I am. Didn't actuallly see the consultant until 16wks but I did have an early reassurance scan at EPU.

I've had extra growth scans and appointments with the consultant at 16, 24, 30 and 36wks and it has definitely helped with my anxiety during this pregnancy.

I'm also on progesterone, aspririn, folic acid and thyroxine. I've had 2 early scans at the EPU but haven't seen a midwife yet, am assuming I'll be consultant led as I do already see a consultant at the hospital for recurrent pregnancy loss.

Yes but saw the midwife at the normal midwife appointments but saw consultant prior to pregnancy, for HCG injections and weekly scans in first trimester, also on aspirin and high dose folic acid, plus saw consultant towards end of pregnancy to organise a birth plan as was 40 years old at the time so didn't go beyond term and had elective section planned at 40 weeks as wasn't engaged at all, couldn't even have a sweep for fear of cord prolapse

Yes I was, I was put on metformin again prior to this pregnancy (though this is not medically recognised as a recommendation for recurrent miscarriages but my consultant was willing to give it a try as it was the only thing that was different when I had my DD, as I have unexplained recurring miscarriages). I was with consultant till around 15 weeks until they were happy things were progressing smoothly and then referred back to midwife as I was low risk with all other things.
