Healthcare Visits - A Little Thoughtfulness Would Go a Long Way
Many of us feel uneasy or anxious about visiting the doctor, but this discomfort is often worsened by the insensitivity and lack of awareness about involuntary childlessness. Today, we will be discussing some personal experiences and observations of how women without children encounter insensitivity and misconceptions from healthcare providers.
Unfortunately there is a significant lack of understanding within the medical community about the emotional and physical impacts of infertility and pregnancy loss. I am offering a few tips for childless women on how to advocate for themselves in medical settings. There is an immense need for healthcare workers to show empathy and sensitivity when discussing reproductive status.
Key Episode Takeaways:
- Compassionate and empathetic communication is sadly often missing in healthcare.
- Examples of common insensitivities and misconceptions faced by childless women during healthcare visits.
- It is ok to advocate for yourself.
