<div>I'm 16 weeks pregnant and had pain in my stomach my Gynecologist told me that i should lay in a warm bath and if the pain does not get better that i should go to Eugene Marais Hospital and ask that they Gynecologist **** sees me i got to the hospital in a lot of pain at 3:41 the reception staff helped me open a file i then had too wait at 5:00pm they took me in where they took my bloodpressure and sugar and urine i then waited for the Dr till 6:58 where she said that they will send me for a sonar to make sure my baby is okey as i was worried a nurse then took me to radiology where i was told they have to do a sonar and x-rays i then told them I'm pregnant and that they can't take x-rays as its dangerous they told me then to drink water to get my bladder full i got there at 7:12 i waited on my bed in the hallway till 9:24 where the Dr just told me oh i should have told them I'm pregnant because they can't do a sonar as they are not Covered by the insurance i then waited for a nurse to get me he then took me back to my room they then took blood tests and said i have too wait for the Dr again she then did a cervical inspection that hurt like hell and which was unnecessary but any way i then laid there till my husband came to ask why it takes so long for them just to check that our baby is fine and to give my something for pain they the gave me medication and said i have cervical infection and discharged me at 11:03 i then had a appointment with my Gynecologist the next day i took all the pills with which Eugene marais subscribed my Dr then told me that ,that the pills are very dangerous for pregnant women i then told her that they did a Cervical inspection she was furious because you are not aloud to do it when someone is pregnant she then pressed on my stomach and told me i have thorn ligaments she then gave me something for it and it help . I'm really upset with the service they could have killed my baby and they did not even gave my something for the pain i went home after 7 hours with the same pain i went in the service is bad its my second bad experience . My grandma went in with stomach pain they did loads of test we were waiting there for 10 hours where they just told us she's a diabetic and has high bloodplessure it cost us R8000 and 2weeks after the hospital visit my grandmas stomach ulcer burst where they missed diagnost again she's now in a fail care unit where she almost died they did tests and still she went home with stomach pain .&nbsp;</div>
