Hi mummies to be, I am on the fence of switching gynae as I am feeling insecure with the current one. I experienced very bad stomach cramps when I’m overseas alone for work (in a less developed country with no clinics/hospitals/medical care) and called my gynae clinic. The front line staff said they couldn’t reach my gynae and told me to try calling again later. I found out only days later that my gynae is actually out of town which i can understand but am puzzled why the front line staff aren’t aware and made me wait for nothing. Imagine I was all alone in a foreign land, sick and worried sick for my baby and helpless....
I was down with a bad cough (I was so worried about baby with my constant coughing...) and sorethroat weeks after and just want to do a quick check with my gynae if I’m able to take certain medications as I thought it’s safer to double check with gynae. The recep staff aren’t helpful and told me I should just see GP instead. I thought these staff having to work in this field should have some empathy/compassion to preggies right.. I’m already so sick and worried but you are not helping at all...
The front line staff at the clinic weren’t helpful and I couldn’t reach my gynae time after time which makes me feel really insecure... what if choychoy anything happen to me and I can’t reach my gynae. My gynae also doesn’t seem very focused during my last visit and did not reply to my email...
Just wondering if any of you faced the same problem? Is this common? How readily available is your gynae in times of need/emergencies? Not sure if it’s wise to switch gynae since I’m already now more than halfway through my pregnancy...
