SCH in early pregnancy; recs for MFM/perinatologist/high risk OB?
I have a history of early miscarriages and am finally pregnant again after several years of treatments. I am not having any bleeding at this time but a large SCH was diagnosed on my 6 week ultrasound and I was put on pelvic rest. Has anyone had experience with SCHs or bleeding in early pregnancy? Also, can anyone recommend the best MFMs, perinatologists, or high risk OBs in the East Bay or San Francisco? I have been working with another OB who I adore but his practice is over an hour's drive away so I will likely need someone more local. This may be a tall order, but I need to find someone who is willing to be somewhat collaborative with other doctors-- as I am being treated by an immunologist and rheumatologist for underlying autoimmune issues which I believe contributed to or caused my past miscarriages. I'd like to continue this treatment throughout pregnancy as much as possible-- but I know a lot of MFMs/high risk OBs will frown on this. Thank you so much for any recommendations or advice!

I went to San Francisco Perinatal for both of my high risk pregnancies. Unfortunately, the practice appears to have closed. For my last pregnancy, I saw Dr. Michael Katz, who I cannot recommend enough. He has a great bedside manner, but also does not mince words. I believe he is still affiliated with CPMC.
