Hi,

I'm 19 weeks pregnant and getting a little bit stressed about my ante-natal care
to date and where I'm actually going to give birth. So far I've been looked
after by a good doctor at Soranus clinic in Bursa who believes in normal birth
but only with epidural, so my ideas of a more natural birth would go out the
window if I were to stay with this doctor. He says that he doesn't offer just
gas and air - do any doctors here?

I'm also rather frustrated as I am fairly knowledgeable about pregnancy, yet
have not had things explained and he has seemed rather annoyed when I've asked
for more info (e.g. I had higher risk at the time of triple bloods, yet was not
told which hormones were higher or lower, and was not offered the FISH or PCR
test even after ı had asked for these tests). I also was pushed into having
the triple blood test which I didn't really want to have, which resulted in a
1:58 risk of genetic problems so I was then pushed to have an amnio which again
I didn't want. 3 dreadful weeks followed of waiting and luckily the results
came back normal. However I feel pushed around and not involved in my
pregnancy.

Can anyone suggest a good doctor/hospital in Bursa? My SSK will start about 2
weeks before my due date.

Many thanks,

victoria
