Can't you just get it on the web from figleaves and get it posted here? I don't know if the la senza do them, but they apparently have that size in the UK stores.

Yes you are right and I wish City Hospital had been open when I delivered because I had a female gynae in American Hospital who did a colposcopy on me and it was shockingly painful have since had 3 with Dr Ibrahim and not felt a thing ... I was always scared of male gynae's until I met Ibrahim and he is fantastic and so calm I would never see anyone else .. Obstetrician, yeah - I don't care during child birth, unless there was a problem picked up during scans I'd go down the midwife route anyway rather than pay for a gynecologist to really take me through admin. But, as I said I was comfortable with my old male gynecologist and look what that got me. No matter how many time you visit him and he's a perfect gentleman - if he's going through marriage problems or personal crisis would he still be professional? No, all too risky for me, I'm not going to be some piece of meat on a creepy male gynecologist's table again.

Ended up arguing with her as she was determined that I had high blood pressure of which I don't . That made me chuckle! During labour I'd take anyone who knew the first thing about midwifery - even the fireman! Same theory if I needed surgery or was in pelvis bursting pain (well, maybe not the fireman then). But even forgetting my experiences with that creepy male gynecologist I don't believe it childish a woman wanting to take an active decision to keep herself (or her daughters) as safe as possible. If it's just a check up I'd happily wait a week or 2 to see a woman I know is capable and who I get on with - but then equally I'd not downvote any woman happy to take the risk by wanting to have a male gyno fiddling with her bits, it's her body - her choice. edited by SussxSally on 02/04/2014 edited by SussxSally on 02/04/2014 <em>edited by SussxSally on 02/04/2014</em>

Gosh - if there was one thing I never expected to find in the UAE would be a male gynecologist! It's bad enough being given them back home... Mine in the UK was an Arab guy. Due to problems I saw a lot of gynaes and he was amazing. Much better and nicer than some of the ladies I saw :-) The only female gynaes I ever encountered were absolutely heartless cows. I only once had a bad male doc who was one of the old old school (patronising misogynist but it was in the late 60's) ..all the rest have remarkably respectful and very empathetic. I suspect they had good mothers!! Mine was absolutely lovely and I'm probably going to just get the checkups done with her when I go back rather than find another here! Guess with all doctors it's luck of the draw - though after being propositioned by that pervert who just saw me as some piece of meat while he was stroking my breasts I don't think I'll ever take the risk with a male gyno again... Even if it he was just a bad apple to think how many women probably still go to him for health checks - it's impossible not to question the motivations behind him (and all other man) deciding to become gynecologists!

When I lived in the US it depended on your age - mine was, I think over 25 and your covered. I've not been in Dubai long enough to need to cross this bridge yet thankfully - but call your insurance... I'd be amazed if it's not covered. If it's not, I'd still go anyway. <em>edited by SussxSally on 31/03/2014</em>

Gender never used to bother me either Lucy, until my first gynecologist back home (who I'd been seeing for 5 years and thought was a great professional doctor) mid-exam told me how he always thought I had a 'fantastic body with wonderfully firm breasts' - I decided from then unless I'm giving birth, men are going to have to at a minimum take me for dinner before they get access to my lady parts! - and men who decide to become gynecologists I'll avoid at all costs! <em>edited by SussxSally on 31/03/2014</em>

I guess whatever your preferences are ladies - personally I'm definitely not a male gynecologist type of girl, can't quite get over the creepiness of it! Hope your problems are sorted though Sarah.
