OBGYNDoc
Minneapolis, MN
Female, 36
I am a practicing Obstetrician and Gynecologist, providing care for women in all stages of life. Approximately half of my practice consists of pregnancy-related care, including routine prenatal care, high risk obstetrics, and delivering babies at all hours of the day. The other half consists of gynecologic care, which ranges from routine annual check-ups to contraception and menopause. I perform many surgeries, including laparoscopies and hysterectomies.
400 mcg of folic acid is the recommended dosage in pregnancy unless you have other underlying medical issues such as twins, use of certain anti-seizure medications or history of a baby with a neural tube defect.

Without knowing the details of your medical history and why you are taking the lo dose aspirin, I would encourage you to speak to your provider about this question.

You will need to discuss this with your physician. This forum is intended to answer questions about the profession of OBGYN, not to answer specific medical questions.

It is unlikely that your partner would be able to tell if you have had intercourse before. There are subtle signs, but they are subtle. If you have specific questions, I would ask your provider to examine you.

In our practice, as in most practices, patients may choose who they see throughout their pregnancy for outpatient care. However, when they are in the hospital for delivery, we have one doctor assigned to take call. The reality of this profession is that in order to maintain a healthy personal life, we simply can't be available 24/7. Instead, we've opted to maintain a call schedule in which one physician is available for deliveries and emergencies at all times. Without such a system, it would be impossible for Ob/Gyns to maintain any sort of healthy lifestyle. The consequence of this is that patients don't get to choose who will deliver their baby. Almost all patients are understanding of this and are willing to get to know all of the physicians throughout their pregnancy so they are not meeting us for the first time on the big day.

I would strongly advise you to have a provider remove the IUD. There can be complications related to the procedure. Only someone trained in IUD insertion and removal, as well as someone who can manage any possible complications, should perform this procedure.
