Just in case there are any gynaecologist practice managers on here (unlikely), I'd like to express a wish.
Please, please, please, if you have space, separate your pre and post natal patients from your infertility, non-obstetric, and childless patients.
Or at least balance up the info posters a little, so at least a few are about childlessness. Even just a gonorhea poster would be welcomed.
The usual waiting rooms are packed with babies, pregnant people, posters about breastfeeding, and happy smiling baby faces everywhere.
I find it a tiny bit upsetting even now, but I can't imagine how it must be for someone actively miscarrying, reaching the end of an unsuccessful fertility journey, or who lost a child or children, where it's all so raw.
I'm not expecting a world without pregnant people, but maybe a tiny acknowledgement that women's and gynaecological health isn't only about babies, would be great. We're ~20%.
