[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 407538, member: 1991"] This doctor also does a lot of work with fertility problems. He's also quite young, so unlikely to retire for some time. Our previous gynaecologist was amazing, but has just retired from obstetrics. He's the one who recommended this new bloke for the task. Then one of difficult child 3's teachers told me tat this bloke had operated on her, done a hysterectomy (it had been necessary) and handled it so compassionately that she couldn't recommend him highly enough. Interestingly, when I rang the public specialist to cancel with him, he said his wife sees this new doctor of easy child 2/difficult child 2's. As for when she plans a family - she will have to be able to afford her own medical bills by then! She does have private health insurance to cover this as far as possible. And yes, she has obstetric cover too. The public doctor we said no too - he actually is an IVF specialist, he seemed a good bloke, but the public hospital system was the problem there. And with obstetrics - the public system means you turn up t the clinic and see whoever is on duty. If it's not always the same doctor you see, stuff gets missed. A woman I knew had gestational diabetes (I was certain) with her second-last pregnancy. That baby was born badly overweight plus her BiPolar (BP) had skyrocketed. The baby was so fat he didn't walk until he was nearly two, and always had problems with his weight. And her next pregnancy - she tipped right over into full-blown permanent diabetes, because the previous pregnancy issues had gone undiagnosed. I can't say how she fared long-term because she died when her baby was six weeks old. Not due to the diabetes - she had an aneurysm in the brain. I was pregnant with difficult child 3 and ill, unable to go to the funeral. But I watched her son grow up, her second-youngest, and the problems he had with his weight. We have a good public health system here, but I still recommend to my kids that for obstetrics at least, go private. Marg [/QUOTE]
