20 odd years ago I had just found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child, my DD.
I went to the GP (in NZ) to confirm the pregnancy I guess and my EXH was there.
GP was a guy about 55/60 (don’t know if this is relevant) and I was 23.
He insisted on giving me an internal examination (I was about 7/8 weeks pregnant) while my ex watched (no curtain or anything) but (this is the weird bit) the GP made me lie on my side and put the speculum in from behind (so my arse was facing Ex) while explaining to Ex that this way was a lot easier.
To this day it makes me feel really yuck and at the time I felt like the GP was getting off in this.
Firstly the examination was totally unnecessary and the way he did it was almost pervy?
Has anyone else ever had an examination like that?
Have I over thought this?
