:'( mean doctor

I went to my doctor for a regular prenatal check up and she checked to see if I was dilated but said she couldn't reach my cervix but she kept making faces and kept pushing her fingers up higher and it hurt so bad I started crying than she finally stopped and said " you can stop crying I'll just order a ultrasound " I left the office and it hurt to walk and when I got home I had slot of creamy thick discharge and it was bloody it went away after an hour but scared the hell out of me and I felt like she could have been more gentle

That is not right. She should not be a doctor if she know know how to respect patients.
I get my cervix check and everytime it hurt a little and my doctor always apologies for causing me discomfort. Not even her fault, I'm just tight and sensitive down there. But I still appeticated her professionalism.
There are good doctor out there. Switch if you are uncomfortable and unhappy with yours.

That is horrible.  Get a new dr u and ur baby deserve the best care. Not some abusive evil woman.  Idc what l&d said it seems like the safer choice is to get this lady away from u.  And talk to the head of that dr office again. That shouldn't b allowed to happen.  Im so sry that happened to u and I wish u and ur baby the best.

All of the ladies have given you great advice :-)  I just wanted to add that there is actually no need to check your cervix until you're in labour. It's painful and completely un necessary and I wouldn't be letting them do it.

I would call l&d back and demand to switch they may say its not safe but tell them u dont feel safe comfortable happy or satisfied with her(ur dr. Now) and they seriously dont know the pain your going thur. Like above lady said your delivery will be more stressed and u always want to have a happy healthy delivery. Congrats and best of luck. Keep us posted

If you aren't comfortable with her, I would still switch. Your delivery will be even more stressful just bc of her. Sending prayers for you, and for that mean woman to be more understanding too... She needs some kind of help. If you can't be caring and compasionate, then why in the hell would you be a doctor?! Bless your heart.

I called labor and delivery. They said as long as the bleeding didn't last throughout the day I would be fine but they've had complaints about this doctor before but since I'm 35 weeks they don't suggest for me to switch doctors:(  I'm a young mommy 18 and she is always so rude to me any time I have a complaint like before I was prego I was in a car wreck that messed up my back and I was going to a chiropractor for it and when I asked if their was anything I could do to minimize the pain in my back she said " it's part of pregnancy" than left the room it hurts my feelings that she's so mean and makes ugly comments at me...  BTW my baby was planned and I'm not like these immature teenage mom's I have all my stuff together so it's frustrating when people I'm supposed to be able to trust treat me crappy cause of my age

That's awful!! I had a doctor be ugly to me bc I didn't have my wedding ring on and she started asking about the baby's father and if he wa "even in my life".. My response was yep, right outside the door. It hurt my feelings so bad that she could be so judgmental for no reason, so I know your situation is makin you feel awful. I requested not to see her and complained to the head doctor that was over her and never had a problem with them..I would not want to deal with that at all!

You definitely need to speak with someone about it, regardless of it was her time of the month or not it's unprofessional, and you need to be comfortable with the doctor that will bring your baby into the world!

Seriously? Wow! Next time request for someone to be in there while she does it just in case she is mean again. That way no one can call u crazy about it. I would've told her where she can shove it in her! I have never had a doc hurt me to check my cervix. That's messed up!

No kidding! I would let her know next time you are in there she made you bleed.. then again you may want to call labor and delivery where you are delivering to ask them about it.
