I often ask the same thing.  No one can diagnose without seeing the child.  And, why ask kids, teens and people with no medical background at all for help?  \n\nI am a nurse and I am often shocked at the advice I see others give on here.  Some of it, if followed would do far more harm than good.  People should not answer questions that they are not qualified to answer, in my opinion.

[  NOTE ]\n\nI would like to answer this question saying allergies or a bad thing on, Children are Grow-Ups.\n\nYou need to consult your family doctor your child's health advice should not come from the "Love & Friendship" section of Q&A.\n\nNow there is a "Health" section in Q&A with some highly trained RN's that may assist  you in some matters maybe.

An OB/GYN does not just examine tissue and deliver babies. S/he also prescribes medicine, and has to know both how those meds will react with the female body (and developing fetus) and how those meds will react with other drugs and vitamins the patient may be taking. This doctor has to know how the chemicals in birth control will affect brain chemistry, and how antibiotics affect uterine bacteria. This doctor has to know the possible side effects and drug interactions of analgesics, labor inducers, labor suppressants, and everything in between.\n\nYeah, I'd guess it's very important.

agree with first answer - see a good ob/gyn - what will be, will be.  know 2 people who were told they were infertile that have beautiful children to prove otherwise - also know 3 couples who have adopted and raised beautiful children - they were infertile but gave the care and support required to be "parents".

k, I'm drunk, but I understood it perfectly. The doctor in need of doctoring requested that particular doctor because he like the way that that doctor doctors. So, he should definitely doctor the doctor in the way that he would usually doctor a doctor, as opposed to the way that he would assume the doctor who needs doctoring doctors doctors. Am I right?

I think if you are going to have kids and work then you need to have plans for when you kids get sick.  It's part of being a grown up! What if your child was sick and he needed to see his doc, but the doc's kid was sick so he was not there to help your kid.  Don't work if you can't handle work and a family.  Sorry...

That's only an answer you can give yourself.  Ask yourself worse case scenario situations....as a pediatrician think of all the trouble kids can get into - infections, lacerations, screaming newborns with unknown causes.  As an anestheiologist (which your spelling is wrong) can you handle administering drug to a severe car accident victim, or an epidural to a woman at the peak of her delivery.  \n\nWhich would you get most joy out of...if you're looking for money, that will only last you a couple of year.  Stability - there will always be work, depending on what kind of pediatrician you would like to be you may be on call all the time, my pediatrician ALWAYS takes her clients calls regardless of the time.  Anesthesiologists vary - if you're in office then there are office hours working with a surgeon, if you are hospital then it's shifts just like a nurse/doctor.  \n\nYou need to determine which will fulfill your needs most.

Yeah, tell your mom. He is a pervert. Yes to a certain degree he is supposed to talk to you about sex, but not in that way. He said he likes describing these different types of sexual acts. Something is wrong with him. When there is a patient and the doctor is of the opposite sex there is supposed to be another doctor/nurse the same sex as the patient. For example: You are a female he is a male there was supposed to be another female in there like a nurse. If it makes you feel comfortable some docs. let you bring along a friend or female along. But I would definitely change my doctor from a male to a female. He just seems like a freak. I just don't know what type of men actually like taking that job, it just seems very freaky to me. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. BUT DEFINITELY TELL YOUR MOM. AND DON'T GO BACK TO HIM.

Of course my children they are your blood, as for me my kids are my blood, sweat, and tears .... I love them more then anything and I do for them before I even do for myself. Your children come first in life no matter what, children are innocent angels that absorb things very fast, why would you even question who to choose? That is crazy like a squirrel lady or man "your nuts"

I don't think you have a thing to worry about as I know other people that has had baby's that have it and the baby's were fine. If you and your husband are not happy with what the doctor said about it, I think that I would go to another doctor for a second opinion.

A psychiatrist is probably the best option, but your regular physician or pediatrician can indeed perscribe pills for you.  The thing is, your parents have a major say in your treatment if you're covered by their insurance.  Good luck! I hope things work out.

When it comes to something that important, ask your doctor!  Dont be afraid to ask specific questions, its your health, and if you arent ready to bring a baby into this world, i suggest doing the responsible thing and finding out 100% for sure how it works and how well protected you are.

I think so too, like in my situation with my twins being born 1 day short of being 3 weeks early. My daughter was 4 pounds, and my son was almost 7! They ran no test and just assumed that my son got more food and nurishment than his sis. Well now, almost 2 years later, she is still smaller than he is and they don't even look like twins. CPS took my kids deeming my daughter failure to thrive, after her pediatrician ran a few tests and determined my daughter had nothing medically wrong with her, and held me responsible for my daughter being small and underweight! If the docs in the O.R room didn't see a need to run test, then when I take them to another pediatrician and she calls CPS and has my kids taken, they could be held responsible for failing to diagnose a problem that resulted in my kids being taken! The statue of limitations is 2 years, I think in my state of NC, my twins are 22months. If there is way to prove the O.R doc negligent, I have no way of doing so now, because my kids are in CPS care, and they won't let me get a second opinion! Statue of limitations suck!
