Disappointing OBGYN :-(From: Hope (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 29 Sep 2000 09:57:28 -0500 (CDT)
Hi ! I was so excited when I got an appointent to an obgyn, that specializes ín treating colleagues. But what a disappointment that turned out to be... He didn't listen to my concerns at all. He said that the psychotropics I take during pregnancy don't really interest him; I should discuss my concerns regarding meds with my shrink. He also said that since all previous pregnancies had gone so well (he failed to read in my journal the notion of 34 weeker twins, one with hydrocephalus, and the stillbirth), that I should stop worrying. He said that induction is always dangerous, and that c-section should not be performed, as I had previously successful vaginal births in my history. He said there was no danger of premature labour or SGA, even thou he didn't get the babys measurements well, because she/he was in such a bad position at the time, and saw nothing wrong with me working on call, and continue sports etc. He said I could come back in 4 weeks, and that he hoped I'd go into labor by the 40 th week. He saw no reason for increased monitoring, or visits or anything. So, that pretty much sums up my less than comforting session with the big-shot obgyn at the university hospital... Any suggestions on what to do next ? Obviously, I should just carry on as is, and think "que sera, sera", but I don't find that strenght in me. Or should I just live as if I weren't pregnant...? I'm so tired, so sad and feel so defeated and alone. Thanks for listening, Hope
-- With kind regards, Hope Larsen
