I think I was abused by my doctor

[Mumthatlovesbooks]

So I was reading another thread and thought I would start my own …. Not sure why this is playing on my mind these days but I feel I just need to say it or try and find closure …..

so back in 2002 I was 18 or 19 and pregnant with my first child which I went to the doctor when I was about 5 or 6 weeks gone been with this doctor years and he gave me a internal and check my breast to see if I was pregnant back then I thought it was weird but never been in this situation before … so I was like okay …. And then went on and to see him again about something else and he did another internal while I was there to check how the pregnancy was going ….. so I was like okay … I then ended up moving house and moved doctors and also ended up having a fall in work which meant I lost the baby …. And never thought anymore of it … about 6 months later me and my husband to be went on and got pregnant again and all was well with this but my new doctors never did anything like before and I don’t know why I was just embarrassed when I asked about a internal and they weee like no we don’t need to do that we and proceeded to explain what happens over the next few months …. Anyway many years later it’s just bothers me I never did anything …. And I know he will be long gone and dead but I am not back at a doctor practice which used to be the same doctors j went to years ago but in a new location and now that memory has resurfaced…

aslp so sorry for lack of grammar I just needed to get it off my chest …. And ask for any advice on what you would do now I am in the uk and not sure if there is anything I should do

Back in the early 90s my male gp did an internal and breast exam on me when I was 15. Still makes me feel sick now.

I'm sorry this happened to you OP. I had a similar experience in my teens....I wasn't pregnant though. I was 17 and had applied for an admn job and they sent me for a routine medical which was arranged with my GP....to this day, i dont know why...totally over the top. He obvs decided an admin job called for healthy sex organs...cue an internal and a breast examination.....I felt uncomfortable about it at the time but was too shy to speak up....my god now, I'd tell him to go f**k himself. He was subsequently done for abusing other patients.....I bury it deep and tell myself he was a sad old git....but it hurts....although I refuse to let it get to me as I can't get any retribution now. Hugs OP XX

I had a female GP do this to me in 2003 when I went in and asked for a pregnancy test.
Seeing as there's knowledgeable people on here can I ask about whether this is normal or not- In 2000 after having my first child I went for a postnatal appointment where the same female GP mentioned above got me to completely undress then checked my breasts and did an internal examination. I felt very uncomfortable throughout.
I've had two more children since then and this never happened at any postnatal checks with them!
