first ultrasound with a new doctor!
So today we had our first ultrasound with our new doctor. I had insisted on getting in before October 1 because our insurance was ending for 1 month due to my husband switching jobs. I had already had an appointment a few days ago but that doctor is so far away I couldn't imagine going all that way frequently. He told me everything is perfectly fine and on track for this early. So I found a doctor closer and they insisted on seeing me asap since I wouldn't be in again until November. I figured why not one more appointment this week won't kill me-boy was I wrong!
This new dr was so inexperienced and unprofessional I can't believe he passed medical school. He used the metal clamp for chlamydia testing even though I had that done a few days ago and it all checked out. Well he didn't use any gel on it so I tore from it and that's when the bleeding started.
Then comes the breast exam I told him my breasts are very tender right now and yet he pressed so hard I have bruises on my breasts. At this point my husband had to tell him to take it easy because the dr wasn't listening to me when I said "ow" a hundred times.
That should've been my red flag but I was on the table spread eagle and wasn't going to cause a scene. I figured he would have a tech come in for the US and I'd be done- WRONG.
He did the US. And was NOT gentle. He was jabbing around in there all over so bad I was screaming. He hit my cervix multiple times and I ended up fainting on the table from the pain. I woke up to him walking out leaving my blanket up so all THREE interns (males) could look right at me while I'm pouring blood. My husband covered me up and told them to get out. They all excused themselves and the nurse took my blood sugar levels and gave me some orange juice to help the dizziness.
I had to have her leave so I could take a moment and my husband literally had to dress me. The US wand(not sure of its proper name) was COVERED in blood. Bad. So I'm of course thinking I'm going to miscarry. But turns out it's from the tearing of him jabbing that thing around.
After I was able to stand I walked into the next room sobbing, dizzy and visible upset to this doctor beginning a conversation with me about getting testing done for Down syndrome and how if I find out early enough I can get an abortion. I argued with him and he kept insisting and eventually my husband had to tell him that's enough-yet again. At this point i am so upset I'm hysterically sobbing and on the verge of having a panic attack. I told him to talk to my husband instead. He proceeds to tell my husband I need to come back for weekly appointments, with no explanation of why. When I told him no he randomly says "well I'm concerned about miscarriage" cue hysterical sobbing again. My husband scheduled the weekly appointments but I will be cancelling them I think until I find a new doctor.
I have 0 history of miscarriage or previous pregnancy. This is not a high risk pregnancy and prior to bringing up the miscarriage he told me my pregnancy is healthy. So did my first doctor. I am so distraught about this situation this doctor has had me convinced I'm going to miscarry ever since. I didn't think doctors could be so awful
