Hi there. Going to an ob/gyn for yearly exams and more often if needed)
can mean life or death. Would your hubby want you to be real ill with
something that could of had gotten early treatment? I doubt so. I am
not trying to pass judgement here, please understand that. By him not
"allowing" (this confuses me) you to go see an ob/gyn, he is putting
your life at risk, and risk(s) of any children loosing their mother (if
you have kids). Something to think about.
Best Wishes,
Amy
