The last time I was at the doctor’s office, he looked at the ultrasound, then, in a low voice, told me that I should go home and stay away from my husband. He even advised me to get a divorce.
During my last prenatal exam, the doctor displayed behavior that deeply unsettled me. I went to the consultation thinking everything was fine, expecting just a routine check-up before the baby’s birth. But, when he saw the ultrasound, his attitude unexpectedly changed.
My usually calm doctor seemed strangely nervous. I even noticed his hands shaking slightly.
When he looked at the ultrasound, a clear sense of worry appeared on his face. I asked if everything was okay, and he answered in a low, almost hesitant voice: “Go home, stay away from your husband.” Then, he suggested I live with my sister and think about getting a divorce.
I was completely in shock. I had never seen my doctor so disturbed, and his words left me speechless. It felt like the ground had disappeared beneath me.
Seeing my confusion, he slowly turned the ultrasound screen towards me to explain what was troubling him so much. What he showed me and what he revealed was much more concerning than I had imagined.
The rest of this story is in the first comment below .
The ultrasound showed signs of a rare but serious infection.
He told me that the disease he suspected could be transmitted through intimate contact, and that my husband might be carrying a virus or bacteria that was particularly hard to detect.
According to him, this kind of infection could have consequences for my health and the baby’s health.
It was absolutely essential to avoid any intimate contact with my husband until further tests were done.
He advised me not to tell him just yet, to stay away to minimize any additional risks.
I couldn’t understand.
Why hadn’t I noticed anything earlier?
Why hadn’t my husband mentioned anything?
My thoughts were spinning in circles.
The doctor referred me to a specialist to confirm his diagnosis.
Leaving his office, a feeling of betrayal overwhelmed me.
Everything had become blurry, like a bad dream I couldn’t wake up from.
