Lynn, I am lost for words. I agree with Deb, your treatment has been shoddy at best. Fair enough the body can be unpredictable and do things that are unexpected, but it is so important that you get continuity of care and don't get passed around to whoever is on phone duty. I would demand that you are only spoken to by the FS, if he is too busy, fair enough, but he must be honest with you that he isn't able to provide the standard of care that you require and that you deserve. I would then start looking elsewhere.
I am a big believer in trusting your instincts, so you will know deep down what is the right thing to do. Irrespective of whether he comes highly recommended, he is not living up to his reputation and you shouldn't feel worried about offending him if you decide to move on. You deserve only the best care and I think that it should be a holistic approach, taking care of the mind is just as important, if not more important than taking care of the body. :hugs:
Deb: It is such nice news to hear that you got your trigger shot . I am sorry you have such discomfort, but as you said, who really cares if it means that you are about to O. You seem so intouch with your body and how it works. I admire that. Thank you for giving Lynn so much help and information today. I just don't know much about the whole process, but it is great that you are such a fantastic support to Lynn and all of us with both the medical stuff but also the emotional stuff.
Tommysmum: Next time someone takes it upon themselves to touch your belly uninvited, touch theirs back. See how they like it. In my opinion, just because you are UTD doesn't give people a free pass to disrespect your personal space. I bet you look just beautiful in your top :woman:
Well my crazy lady scan went really well. I had a big talk to the Ob about my experience at the Ultrasound place like asking me what happened to Harry twice and asking how long I breastfeed after I had just told them he was stillborn. Also the fact that they had a new machine and didn't seem competent on it. Well I trusted my instincts and asked that I get a referral to another specialist. I called my specialist in Brissy who was with us the whole way with Harry and he gave me some names in Sydney. He has also offerred to review the 19 week scan if I send him the DVD. My Ob was happy to give me the referral and now I feel better. My BP at the start of the appointment was 150/70 and when I left it was 130/70. Lil' Spring is measuring perfectly and HB was about 150 so I feel good. He has also referred me to a lactation consultant. I have still go a blocked milk duct in my areola and he said he want's to make sure it won't impact my ability to breastfeed. Apparently I can start doing massages and the like to get the blockage to move along. Sounds painful but I'll do whatever it takes. He is such a good doctor, I feel like giving him a big cuddle but I think he would commit me
About to organise some grub and then I have a phone date with Mel. I'll pop on later to see how my girls are.
