My experience changing from gynecologist to mid-pregnancy

Some time ago, while I shared some tips for choosing the ideal gynecologist for your pregnancy, I told you about my personal experience. Throughout my life I have had three gynecologists, two of them during my only pregnancy.

Although I felt comfortable with the gynecologist with whom I started my pregnancy, she He did not give enough importance to the symptoms and discomforts that I felt, which eventually made me seek a second opinion and they detected a urinary tract infection, which if not attended, could have had serious consequences.

After that moment, nothing was the same. Although he always treated me with kindness and respect, for me it was something that definitely no longer made me feel calm and sure of continuing to trust him with my pregnancy.
