oh they speak english just not great! Its not really them speaking i have a problem with its them understanding, lol.

Almost all doctors speak and understand English. Maybe you have a very strong British accent? Try talking to them without much accent and they will understand you very good.

oh pammie you star thank thank you!! I was having panic attacks last night cos i wanted and english proffesional to talk to. No one seems to care they keep saying at the end of the day its gonna come out so dont worry about it, these ppl obviously have no idea what hormones do to the brain

Sotos im from kent so there is no strong accent its just my doctor seems more interested about telling stories than actually asking how i feel. I still dont know how pregnant i am cos no one will give me straight answer, its a case of they just expect you to instinctivley know everything cos you are a woman. I just want someone I can ask a question to and they will know the answer and not think im crazy for asking.

I think your relatives might be in a better position to advise you what to do or even find a good doctor who cares about your feelings and answer your questions. Have you spoken to them?

[littlemiss]

Yes im lucky to have my parents living here, unfortunatly they know as much about finding a good doctor here as i do. As for my husbands family ( cypriot ) they all live in the uk ironic really we are english and live here they are cypriot and live there, what ever has happened to the world! lol

So in that case you may ask a question on this board http://www.steadyhealth.com/Pregnancy-f21.html

or www.steadyhealth.com , on the pregnancy section and hopefully you will get an answer from a trained individual in USA. The communication is in english ,so you may be in a better position to understand!

Hope this is of help and good luck!
