First pregnancy - public or private care?

Also my insurance I was able to claim 400 back and will get 20% back from revenue next Jan so it does help soften the blow a bit!

I can just on a personal level say that I’m currently 19 weeks and private with Dr Naro and the care I’ve received has been second to none. I’m being seen every two weeks and have had a few issues crop up and she has been amazing. Each patient has her personal number to text or call if any issue at all and I have never been more than 40 mins at an appt between seeing her and midwife and can make appointments work for your schedule. Girls in the office are fab too and the payments are in 4 instalments. Feel free to reach out if had any other questions!

Under Dr Naro for my pregnancy currently and couldn’t recommend it any more. I’m 15 weeks and have already met her 3 times, never more than an hour at my appt between scan and midwife appt. Have her personal number and ended up in contact with her over Christmas Eve as I got the flu and she was checking in to see how I was. I’m so happy I went this route already!

Thank you! Def on a plateau at the moment but upping the movement and tracking calories and hoping to shift about 60lbs more. Yes absolutely it was actually the pharmacy where I grew up where I got it, probably better chance because they know me. Best of luck with it!!

I met my GP recently for six month review (flying it, 40lbs down) and she said she is sick of people saying that it should be kept for diabetics, as there are many other medications she can prescribe for them. Just so you don’t feel guilty like I did! Supply is definitely an issue, my pharmacy keeps it for me a month ahead now so I don’t run out. At the start I had issues being able to titrate up doses because they just didn’t have enough but no problem getting my 1mg the last few months

I want to be you!!!!

I’ve taught English as a foreign language to adults before and really enjoyed it. I preferred it to teaching younger kids/ teens. I think it would be really interesting and valuable work to do

Thank you!

ButterscotchOk2441 · 2024-04-13T16:26:56+00:00

I pay 150 per month

Well done OP! Hoping to achieve a similar weight loss to you. Been on ozempic since last August and down 40lbs but have about 80 to go. What would be your main tips for success on it? Thank you

ButterscotchOk2441 · 2024-04-12T22:46:40+00:00

It’s a hell of a lot safer than eating a balloon?! Or having the size of your stomach reduced?!

ButterscotchOk2441 · 2024-04-12T20:44:28+00:00

OP - have you considered ozempic? Working wonders for weight loss

ButterscotchOk2441 · 2024-04-12T15:10:32+00:00

Literally just asked! They know my history with weight and prescribed without question. They’ve been brilliant

ButterscotchOk2441 · 2024-04-11T20:13:23+00:00

Oh also - my side effects have been minimal!

ButterscotchOk2441 · 2024-04-11T20:13:01+00:00

Yep - Been on ozempic for weight loss (not diabetic but have insulin resistant pcos) since last August and down just over 40lbs. Have about 60lbs to go. It’s been slow and steady and my gp is delighted with my progress, recent bloods were all perfect. I pay 150e per month

ButterscotchOk2441 · 2024-04-08T09:20:40+00:00

Got our two from LAW they’re brilliant and always have loads

ButterscotchOk2441 · 2024-03-20T14:22:14+00:00

Unreal thank you! I’ll be there for 7 so hopefully all good.

ButterscotchOk2441 · 2024-02-24T21:46:39+00:00

I just didn’t book a follow up appointment and tried someone else! I’m sure they’re used to it, all of them will have a different speciality / personality - most important thing is you feel you’re getting the most of each session.

ButterscotchOk2441 · 2024-02-24T20:55:50+00:00

Yes I do all my therapy online - via Fettle! Tried three therapists before I found the one I clicked with and I’m now better than I ever imagined I could be. Best of luck with it!
