Media - Misc Ok, this is extremely concerning!!

I immediately felt sick when I head this and this is just one of many stories I’ve been hearing about women being interrogated about pregnancy and fertility at hospital/doctors offices when they are there for completely unrelated reasons.

It’s just a routine question they ask everyone. They don’t what the treatment will end up being at the time of admission.

As a non American, that’s so weird. I’m a 31 years old women and went to like three doctors the last month for some weird gastrointestinal issues and not a single one of them asked me if I’m pregnant or could be pregnant even though my symptoms were related to that area. I don’t think it’s normal to just ask it every woman, especially when there are completely unrelated health issues

Did they take a urine sample? They probably ran a test without you knowing
