Bellona Wellness for Women

8.  She won’t judge you if you didn’t shave your legs today, but she does appreciate that you showered. 

7.  Kindly reconsider wearing those sweaty ballet flats to your Gyno appointment.  Your stinky feet are literally inches from your doctor’s nose during the exam.

6.  Either you’re well, or you’re not.  Your insurance will pay for a wellness visit or a problem visit in a single day but will not pay for both.  (Doctors think this is lame too!)

5.  Your Gynecologist doesn’t care what your underwear looks like; she just doesn’t want to trip over it in the floor.

4.  No one is waiting by the phone in the middle of the night to take your call.  If it is an emergency, please go to the ER.  If not, call the office in the morning.

3.  Your patience means the world when your OB/GYN is running behind.  She is not allowed to tell you that she just delivered a dead baby to a wonderful mom.  She is not supposed to let it show that she is crushed and mourning with a grief stricken family.

2.  Reading a couple of Facebook posts or watching a Tiktok video does not constitute “research.”

1.  Your OB/GYN went to school for 25+ years to take the best possible care of YOU.
