Good OB/GYN?? Low back problems??

ditto
By ditto

Can anyone recommend a good OB/GYN to follow up on pregnancy? Or maybe recommend a hospital or centre that has good doctors and proper equipment.

Another health related issue: has anyone had any success in treating low back pain here in Doha? If one needs to have a CT scan or an MRI, where should one go? And what about chiropractic centres, are they any good?

Thanks!

Thank you very much Xena.

People, i really appreciate all your replies & comments, my questions were really very simple. I just wanted recommendations from anyone who knows & has tried a good OB/GYN and if anyone had any success with fixing low back problems with any doctor or centres such as chiropractics or physical therapy or any sort of therapy, to give me names and contact info.

Thanks for the recommendation of Dr.Amal Badi, now I would really appreciate some info about the low back problems.

Cheers!

Teddy girl, la Jolla, Unknown.... just curious... did any of you actually bother to read Dittos previous blogs, where she said that she IS NOT pregnant at the moment.......

Also, as Ditto has already had one baby, I am sure she is aware of what would be happening to her body should she have been in the family way......

hello ditto, i do think you need to see a chiropractor, and if you do have back pain of course it means there is something wrong with your back. SInce you are pregnant your pelvis is expanding which causes pain in your lumbar and pelvic also due to the extra weight. Therefore the best treatment for you is chiropractic, its not only for your back pain but also for optimum health of the baby and you.The chiropractic approach to better health is to detect,reduce,and help pervent nervous system dysfunction.

it's comman fof pregnant woman to have back pain....coz she is carrying her baby weight too....

so don't worry it will disappear once u delived..

if u still not comfortable with back ache.. just have a nice warm bath..or avoid wearing high heels shoe..

Are you serious? As a matter of fact YES I did have an epidural!! I wasn't aware that it could cause back pain for such a long time. Thanks a lot for the info. I'll be sure to mention that to the doctor, once i find one :)

If you had an epidural during your pregnancy, then that MAY be the cause of your low back pain.

Actually i wasn't really very clear in my message cuz i didn't think it was necessary to give a lot of details, but now that u ask, the fact is i am not pregnant yet but i want to have another baby. However, I've had back problems since my first pregnancy which was over 2 years ago, so my problem is do i try to fix my back first or go ahead and get pregnant which will probably cause more back problems then afterwards start treating my back.

Thanks for the phone numbers, i already have these, i was hoping to get names of doctors people actually tried, cuz my experience here hasn't been so great.

Thanks & i appreciate your reply Butterfly.

Hi ditto,

Sorry to estate the obvious and if I sound a little patronasing, but couldn't your back pain be related to the fact that you are pregnant??? If so I think is best if you leave it untreated, I used to have a lot of pain in my back too and it dissapeared after giving birth. It is normal, it doesn't mean that there is something "wrong" with your back.

Anyways, there are lots of doctors here. The Hammad women hospital is very good and have modern equipment, I was treated there.. I also heard very good things about Al Emadi and the Doha Clinic. I did try the American Hospital and didn't like it at all.

Women Hospital: 439 6666

Al Emadi: 466 6009

Doha Clinic: 432 7300

Doha Chripractic Centre: 4650012

HOpe that helps.
