Please never see Dr Laura Lowder.
When I was 36 weeks pregnant my regular obgyn happened to be on leave. So for the weekly checkup I saw Dr Lowder. Big mistake! During internal exam she punctured something and it pained a lot. Once I got up to dress, I saw blood dropping on the floor. I asked her nurse and she consulted Dr Lowder and said that is normal during internal exam. It was bleeding like when you have monthly periods and they sent me back home with a pad!!! It was a Friday and they said if the bleeding does not stop by Monday come and see us. By Sunday evening the bleeding stopped and so I didn't go there again.
By Tuesday night I felt extremely tired and the mucus plug came out. Tuesday night, my water broke and I called hospital. To my bad luck it was Dr Lowder again who was on call for that night. She said if it is not a gush of water falling on my shoes it is not water break. I knew better by reading babycenter that sometimes it can be just trickles!!! So she asked me to go to bed and not worry. By 6 in the morning I started getting contractions and went to the hospital. Another dr. who checked said my water is broke and they need to remove the baby within 24 hours and was immediately admitted there.
If not for Dr Lowder my baby would have born 3 weeks later and been more healthy.. read more
