Dear Listers
Just need a little help choosing an obstetician.
And no, I do not actually want one one but let me explain a little of my
story.
I'm a 41 year old, who has
had PCOS for 15+ years, along with its associated impaired glucose
tolerance, hyperinsulinaemia, obesity, long anovulutory cycles etc
etc.
My husband , it was discovered when we looked
into IVF, has abnormal sperm morphology.
We decided against IVF, and so you can
imagine the complete surprise to discover that we are 7 weeks pregnant !!!
Still not sure how it happened when all medical
advice was our only chance was IVF !!
But needless to say, we are very happy to
have a chance to be parents.
So, my dilema is, my very supportive
GP,advises obstetric care from 28 weeks, earlier if I "develop gestational
diabetes".
We live in a small mining town in central Qld, so
travel for birth is inevitable and we don't really mind where but I'm not ready
to be categorised as geriatric primip and therefore deemed an automatic
"elective" caesar by an obstetician who does not believe, as we do, that I
can birth as nature intended, all things going well.
I've heard good things about Selangor, but we'd
love to hear from any and all who can offer any advice.
Thanks to All
Catherine and Rob Pearson
