My doctors on holiday so I had to see his temp replacement. I told her I was pregnant and got a "and?", I said "well aren't you going to bleed me for tests?" and she asked "what for?". I also asked if she was going to take my weight and do a blood count etc and she said there was no need, she didnt do blood pressure or any form of examination. Instead I got a piece of paper giving me blood tests and urine tests for every STD under the sun...
I also said I have been known to be prone to thrush in the past (antibiotics etc) and whether the treatments were safe to take as they say not to if you are preg but the chemist said they were fine, she just stared at me blankly while I had to explain what thrush was and am getting tested for diabetes because of it??? She couldn't answer me of when I would need a scan, how and when can you tell if it's ectopic or when they know if it's multiples (twins are insanely strong in ALL sides of family).
Is that all they are supposed to do once preg is confirmed? Just test for every STD under the sun and rubella?Should I go see someone else till my doc comes back?
