Sorry this is so long-winded, but I'm feeling rather unhappy after my visit to my GP this morning and would like your advice.
I'm around 4 weeks pregnant ? my period comes like clockwork, its 3 days late so after a few negative early tests I finally got 2 positive results yesterday. So I went to my GP?s surgery this morning - around 6 months ago another doctor at the surgery placed me on an antibiotic and at the time I told her that we would be TTC, and I SPECIFICALLY asked whether this medicine could do any damage in pregnancy. She assured me nothing to worry about, completely safe.
So today, I saw a different doctor, and he announced that the antibiotics could cause the baby bone and teeth problems - when I pushed for more info on this, and explained that his colleague had reassured me it was safe, he muttered something and said ?well just stop taking them? and changed the subject.
Who else can I speak to about the chances of the baby being damaged by the medication (which I have of course stopped taking)?
There were several other things which thinking about now I was unhappy with, but as I have nothing to compare against I don?t know if I?m just being precious. He didn?t repeat a pregnancy test just took my word for it - I guess this makes sense, but is it normal procedure? He said that the next step is to go for a scan at the hospital around week 12 ? is it usual to have no other contact with the medical profession til then?
I feel I?ve come away from the appointment with lots of unanswered questions that he didn?t/ couldn?t /wasn?t interested in answering. Should I save them until I see a midwife?
