My dd is 9 months and historically a very chesty baby who has had bronchilitis twice and they have mentioned asthma a couple of times but too young to dx. Just got back from gp from my 3rd visit of week. First visit was for chest, dr said sounded mucussy see how she goes. Second visit was she fell on her face pulling herself up and split the flap of skin betweeen her gum and top lip. Last night she was awake coughing for 2 hours so back this arvo to my normal dr who is normally lovely. Today she pulled up on screen how many times I have been in jan n feb and was saying they should get me a room here. I felt so embarrased and as if they are laughing at me. I am so upset. How will I take my dd now if she is poorly. I feel humiliated and a failure. I do have health anxiety about my kids but not without good reason. My dd has had 3 chesty episodes since Xmas, a vom n diahrea bug, an ear infec all since Xmas!!! God I feel crap n just wanted to vent!!

Hospital doctor basically told me I was a frequent flyer with ds. Dont take it too personally - drs can have off days and it was probably meant tongue in cheek. I laugh now when I look back at some of the time I have 'rushed' my child to casualty.
