Had Claude Caloundra as my obstetrician for my first child. Was ok, although quite rude, on visits during my pregnancy - first time Mum @ age 33. Problems arose during the birth. My son was a forceps birth - Claude was impatient and wanted to get away quickly, absolutely rammed the forceps in, tearing me and causing me the most incredible pain, the labour had been bearable until then. About four weeks after the birth, when the swelling finally went down and the pain eased enough to be able to properly investigate my vagina, I felt a quite papery sensation. Went to my GP who extracted the sterile pad that had been left in my vagina from the birth. My GP advised that I was very lucky that I didn't get an infection that left me sterile. He advised I should bring this up with Claude at my six week check up. When I did, Claude was very quickly extremely dismissive, passing blame onto the nurses. I wouldn't recommend Claude to anyone [redacted]
