[blparent] ttc and some questions

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Your doctor will see you whenever you need it. They work for you, always remember that.
Women go to the obgyn for all kinds of issues, pregnancy is just one.
If your doctor doesn't grasp the fact that you are blind and what that means, you need to explain it to them, or find a doctor with more common sense and compassion.
You can't read a home pregnancy test, and telling you to "find someone to read it" is inappropriate. You need to understand this and so do they. Remind them of the HIPA(sp?) law which guarantees a patient's privacy.
Doctors are everywhere, find one that meets your needs.

I have a doctor, but they'll only see me after I'm pregnant, for the
OB/midwife, and I have a regular doctor. Its jsut further away than my
one was when I didn't live here, so costs more to get there.
