Ok I could've put this anywhere really but since I'm in this forum now I thought it would be as good a place as any.
Ever since the thought of having a baby first sprung to my mind I've had everyone and everything telling me how important it is to make sure you're comfortable with your caregiver.
When I decided years back that it was time to actually go see one I had well meaning friends and family recommending theirs to me. Don't get me wrong the thought was sweet but I did NOT want to go to my mother's or all my friends gynae. I felt it was better to find my own. One that no one knew about.
I found him. I was extremely happy with him and myself for being able to find one that I wouldn't have conversations about. When I went for my first checkup during my last pregnancy and he told me that it was non-viable I started having doubts. At first I blamed him and his technology. I considered a 2nd opinion. I thought I'd made a mistake.
When I went for the follow up scan and it showed no change he gave me my options and told me it was entirely up to me. He never pressured me into anything. When I opted for a D&C he was a great source of comfort and support for me. My husband was my emotional support and he was the realistic support if that makes sense.
My DH and I work for the same company. When we announced the pregnancy the receptionist here asked DH who my dr is. Turns out she has the same one.
At first I told DH that I could've done with not knowing that LOL but she told him about her pregnancies.
Apparently with her first son she went into labour 2 months early. The gynae managed to get her to full term without having to deliver the baby.
The 2nd pregnancy was roughly the same.
So the point of all this is... I'm really glad to be in his hands. After hearing that story I felt so much more comfortable knowing that my pregnancy will be well taken care of.
So sorry for babbling on. LOL And thanks for reading.
