Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 14 weeks pregnant and may need, in the future, to have a cerclage procedure. As I am a survivor of violent rape (in which I was almost killed), I have severe PTSD and issues with doctors or anyone other than my husband "poking around" my lady parts. I know I will have to be awake for the procedure, and I know I will be utterly panicked. I want to know if it is possible that they might allow my husband to at least be with me during the procedure even though it is an operation.
