    Please help - not happy with my obs

    Hi All,

    After a traumatic 19-week loss, we didn't hear from our obs for over 7 weeks. I had some concerning symptoms and went to see another obs (as she was on holiday). He sent me for HCG tests and called me at 6:30pm that night to give me the results. However when my obs returned and I went for follow up tests, she didn't call me - everything went through the secretary.

    Then when we went to our post-m/c appointment, she still didn't have all our results and didn't at all make us feel that we were being cared for.

    She is exceptionally popular in Sydney and I think that is part of the problem - she seems to busy to make any calls or give us the impression that she is caring for us personally.

    I am concerned that for my next pregnancy, I am not going to get the reassurance from her that I will probably really need.

    I wanted to know if any of you could help with recommendations of obs in the Sydney area (at POWP or RHW).

    Thanks,
    Lemonade

    Sorry i cant help you i am not in the area but i just wanted to say that you really should listen to your gut instinics! You will need loads of extra support your next pregnancy and it does not sound like this OB will give you that. What about the OB that did ring you, cant you just see them?
