Had a doctors appointment yesterday due to being on 2 lots of antibiotics for a uti. I ended up have an allergic reaction to the second lot which left me with a rash on my face and peeling skin down below. I was given an appointment with a male nurse which is fine, slightly embarrassing but fine. I was in the doctors for over an hour, went in explained and he put the arm band on wrong twice for my blood pressure, couldn’t get the pulse device on my finger correctly and had me put in on upside down (never seen that) then had to do a sample which was still showing a uti where he was looking at it for over 5 minutes. Had to go out so he could get a chaperone to inspect down below, over half an hour I get called in to have a receptionist there whilst I had no tissue to put over me and they’re both standing there looking at me naked from my stomach to my toes. He then asked me to basically open up my vagina so he could look, no swab to see what was causing the soreness, no touching to see himself, nothing. I ended up in tears on the bed because I was mortified and that’s when they said would you like something to put across you to cover yourself up so the doctor can look like that. He then sent me out again to ask a doctor what to give me for down below. Today the skin around my bum and vagina is bleeding due to the irritation and I’ve got a cream but no idea what is causing it. I’ve left with still no clue as to what’s going on as it just felt like a shambles in there. Am I overreacting to feel like that was really unprofessional?

No you’re not over reacting it sounds like a shit show! I would be complaining to the practice manager and asking to be seeing another female doctor!

Are you currently pregnant or post partum? If pregnant I would call triage and speak to them instead
I am wondering if I have delayed sending my LO to childcare she is nearly 16 months and is still at home I have seen some comments and posts where mums are sending their LO's to childcare from 8, 9months.. i just hope i haven't left it too long and it doesn't impact their development. My LO is very sociable starts off shy but warms up and loves to play.

Can anyone help me please. I had a c section 5 weeks ago tomorrow. I started driving Sunday and doing a bit more and I think iv done too much. The right side of my incision is so painful to touch. It's still scabby in places and it feels like it's pulling. My mum is coming to help me today but my partner has been on nights the past 3 nights is IV had to do it all alone so no real way I can just lay down.
Will I have pulled my insides? I feel like IV gone back so far I spent all night crying

Had consistent contractions for the last 11 hours, lost my mucus plug and went to the maternity hosp, was having contractions every 1.5 mins when I arrived there yet was only 1cm so got sent home. Baby is sunny side up. I can no longer bare the pain. I don’t know what to do, some of the contractions are so painful I want to phone 999. I can’t do this any longer. I can’t sleep through them, I can’t breathe through them. I’m struggling so so bad

Has anyone had a traumatizing c-section for their first and gave birth to another a few years later? What was that like? I had a really traumatic birth and still cry about it every day 2 months later. I want another but I don’t know how I’ll ever do it again and I’m curious how other moms do

For two nights now in a row I’ve had bad pelvic pain and sciatica in my legs alongside period like cramping. Last night in particular the pain was much worse than the night before and made me feel sick. Woke up this morning and the period like pains are still there, this is a first usually if I have an episode like this in the past I sleep and wake up pain free. Also 3 nights ago had a false labour episode at night but that went after I slept it off. Anyone else experience or is experiencing this? I’m 38+5 💀

Has anyone successfully declined Midwife appointments? I am now under the consultant and have appointments with the consultant and midwife just 2 days apart each time and it is absolutely pointless as they do all the same checks at the consultant appointment (BP, urine etc.) alongside the growth scan and an appointment with my diabetes mw. I am just struggling to fit it all in. I'm still working this is my 2nd, I'm having an elective c section and my MW can't answer any questions for me (I've tried asking!) I have been told by a consultant midwife I know that there's no need to do both as I'm over 31 weeks now and they do more checks at the consultant appointments. Anyone have any similar experience?
