"When I had my first prenatal visit with my OB/GYN, I had only gone in to sign paperwork, have basic health
tests like weight/height and blood pressure, then to have blood work taken. Offering the left arm was an easy answer for those
where am arm was needed, and no questions were asked. However, when I was informed that the doctor would be able to see me
shortly as she had had a cancellation, the heart palpatations started. I was always scared to death of this point, I
hate the judgement from other people, I hate people hating me. I felt sure the doctor would think ill of me for having a child.
I was nearly in tears getting into the gown to have the examination. Thankfully my boyfriend saw my distress and went outside
the room to speak to the doctor before she saw me.
Her answer to him was simply "She doesn't have to worry".
She was completely professional when it came to my scars, made me feel at ease and seemed more interested
in my tattoos. It was so much better than what I imagined, which included being removed from the office by security." -personal
experience.
