I've been referred to see an obstetrician at Hutt Hospital, I got a letter 2 days ago saying they had booked me with Howard Clentworth. I rang today to change, because I'm uncomfortable with male doctors and they booked me with someone called Judy (didn't get last name). Now I've found out Judy isn't an OB! I can't be bothered ringing back again... I have had so many bad experiences with Hutt Maternity it isn't worth the headache. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else has had Judy look after them - what sort of doctor is she? What's her full name (so I can google!), any other interesting bits of information or stories you have to share? Thanks  -------------  4xMC, 3xMMC  http://nellennium.blogspot.co.nz" rel="nofollow - Blog: Nellennium Ramblings |

I haven't heard of a Judy at Hutt Hospital but I have Howard Clentworth as a gynaecologist and he is fantastic. I met 2 obs with my pregnancy (at Wgtn hosp) and the male one was much better than the female. My gynaecologist is also a male and he is fantastic. I think you should meet him then judge, as Howard is honestly fantastic. If you had your appointment with Judy then I hope it went well, if you haven't I can try and find out about her if you want as I work at Hutt Hospital. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hey thanks Fairy for your recommendation and help! I should rephrase uncomfortable to petrified and to the point of having a full on panic attack - which is what happened last time at just the thought of having to be checked out by a male doctor in December last year. I've only been seen by a male doctor in my lady parts once, many years ago. He did nothing wrong and I'm sure he was a lovely person - but I had nightmares for so long afterwards I don't think I could go through that again. I'm not judging the person by any means, it's me with the issue! My appointment isn't until the 22nd of Jan, they were pretty busy as there was a 5 week wait  ------------- 4xMC, 3xMMC http://nellennium.blogspot.co.nz" rel="nofollow - Blog: Nellennium Ramblings |

Hope it all works out for you well. I know a lot of obs are male for some reason so I hope everything works in your favour. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
