Josijo: I am sorry that you are going through all this worry and hope that it is as simple as your dates being a bit out of whack. I have everything crossed for you

Usually I don't post in these sort of threads because I don't know much about the levels etc, but I did see that you mentioned you were seeing Dr. Keeping. I delivered my son Harrison with Dr. Keeping and as you can see from my sig I lost my precious son. Please, please know that I lost Harrison due to medical issues that he had and it was absolutely nothing to do with the care I received from Dr. Keeping.

However, I had a very complicated pregnancy with various episodes of bleeding and tests, stress, worry etc and I have to be honest, neither my DH or I were impressed with Dr. Keeping, he seemed to have a opinion that I was an over anxious first time mum and that I should just stop worrying and relax. I too had the call back on Monday attitude when I ended up in emergency with bleeding. I also was very disappointed with how he behaved at Harry's birth. He was literally there for the last 5 mins and didn't come to the hospital to check on me or DH once. I know that Harry wasn't a normal birth but I felt very abandoned. It was my first labour and regardless of the outcome, I think DH and I deserved more than that.

The only reason I say this is that now I am pregnant again and I am seeing Dr. Pesce at the Westmead (I have moved to Sydney) and he has been amazing. He has given me so much support and I have never been made to feel like I am over-reacting. He even met me at the hospital at 9.30pm on a Sunday evening because I had some pink CM and gave me a scan and didn't charge a cent. Dr. Pesce's care has shown me how supportive an ob can be. I hope that Dr. Keeping picks up his act a bit for you, but if he doesn't don't feel embarrased to go elsewhere.

On a positive note, the Midwifes at the Mater Private were the most amazing, caring and beautiful people I have ever met and after the wonderful care they gave me and my DH I now consider them as part of our family, so if you are delivering there you can rest assured that you will be taken care of.

Best of luck hon
