Please Help - PUPPPS - Need S.E Melbourne Obs/Drs Rec for assistance

[37weeks]

Rudy Lopes in Berwick is a terrific OB. - he's in the same rooms as Jacques Lam...and yes, you'll need a referral for either of them from your GP....is your GP/Midwife reluctant to give you the oral medication because you are pregnant?

Nods - Yep... they know very little about it themselves.

you poor love
I have heard great things about all the above mentioned OB's- I agree you need to get it looked at prehaps go to another Dr and see if you can get a referall.

Nods - Yep... they know very little about it themselves.

Oh dear - id say, get in to see your gp and get a referral to any of the OB's suggested here, they all have great reps, just a matter of you finding one you feel comfortable with

It's also important to ask your GP to contact an obstetric drug service (like the one at Monash Med Centre - 9594 2361) for accurate info on the risks of various medications while pregnant.
