Hi to everyone I am obviously new to this
board but I just have a question I went to
my first drs appt today I am only 6 wks by
the way and he didnt perform a pap smear
or check my cervix or anything then he
also didnt schedule my next appt until dec
even though I have been repeatedly told
you are supposed to go every month does
any know if this is normal? Or should I
begin my search for a new dr?? Thanks for
any advice.
Leslie
Welcome to the boards. I would suggest
looking for another Dr. He doesn't seem
to care too much about you or your child.

Sweetie you mite want to look into another
doctor. If he didn't even do a pap smear
or set up another appointment until
december then he isn't very responsible.
And obviously doens't care all that much.
Hope you find another one that is much
better ~melissa

First off welcome to the boards, you are
going to be overwhelmed with the responses
and the people in here who really do care.
It is great. I am 16 and I have a 6
month old son, I think that you should go
and get a new doctor. No matter how far I
was I went every month, I got two paps,
and I got two ultrasounds. And near the
end of my pregnancy I went once a
week...Well do me a favor and keep us all
posted...

First off thanks so much for all the
responses you guys are great, I think you
are probably right and I will begin
looking for a new dr my sister actually
recomended him in the begginning but she
said he was never like that with her so
maybe he just stays too busy now who knows
anyways thanks again I look forward to
talking to all of you.

Hey Again Posted: 10-29-03 23:11pm
Hi I actually have a somewhat better
opion of my dr after todayi had to go back
in because back in june my previous dr
thought I might have vaginitis (which she
said is very common and not an std)
anyways to make a long story somewhat
shorter lol I never finished the medicine
she prescribed since she wasnt even sure I
had it and then yesterday I read in my
pregnancy book it can cause miscarriages
so I called after almost running to the
hospital lol and asked when they could get
me back in needless to say they got me in
today then after an hour wait he came back
apologized and did a pap, he called me and
said everything came back normal and I was
fine, which trust me was a huge relief, my
husband hasnt meant him yet (hes away at
pldc with the military) but I figure I
will at least give my husband a chance to
meet him and see what he thinks, oh by the
way I guess other than my dr problems I
havent really told you much about me I am
17 married and have two step kids
(although neither me or the kids see it
that way) anyways I will have to figure
out how to post some pictures here soon.
Thanks to everyone for all your advice and
replys. :d
