Urgent advice Re: consultants in Limerick

Ok I need help girls got a BFP last wkend is quite a shock and I’m some what upset about it. But I can’t press delete and go back in time I have to just get on with it. So I need advance about consultants in Limerick I need names and costs and is Dr. Burke retired. Thanks for the help Girls. And yes I do realise how fortunate we are but at the moment all I can think about is myself.

Hi Clumsy are u going private? Dr Burke isnt retired, i was assigned to his clinic in the maternity, dont know about costs though for private. HTH

Dr. Burke has his rooms in steamboat quay I think. One of the lads at work is going private with him...well his wife is! He does the Monday clinic in the maternity if ur public. Think private is about €3k in Limerick. Alot of people think Dr. Slevin is great too. I'm public with Dr. Skehan so don't know.

as far as I know all consultants are 3k. At least that is what I paid. I wouldn't touch Dr Burke though. Had a bad experience a number of years ago with him. He has no manner at all. He was on call when I was in the Maternity aswell and again was gruff and rude. I would highly reccomend Mark Skehan

Hi, I'm seeing Dr Hickey. Is €3k, he is so nice and has great reputation. I saw Dr Burke last week as Dr Hickey on hols, didn't like his manner at all. I went public last time and attended midwife clinic, found v good but privatr this time due to complications after. Best of luck with everything, things will look alot better once shock wears off

Hey Clumsy Just wanted to say - dont be too hard on yourself - its a very shocking thing finding out you are pg - even if you had been planning it - its a life altering roller coaster and my first time around it took quite a while to get my head around the idea that it was a roller coaster I hadnt realised I was signed up for and couldnt get off !!! Time will help it all sink in and there is never a right or perfect time for a baby so try to remember that and I hope it all becomes a little less shocking soon - in the meantime go easy on yourself !

Thanks for the replies. Just feel like the girls on 16 & pregnant. My DH is in college so timing is bad and obviously money matters are all over the place. I'll be like a single mom while his in college cause his course is very intense and time consuming his happy about it though he says its meant to be.

I'm with Dr Slevin and he is 3k. Was with him on first two pregnancies aswell. He is fantastic and highly recommend him. He is on O' Connell ave, 4 doors up from model school.

Hi, I'm currently seeing Mark Skehan as a private patient. So far find him lovely and he was recommended to me by other girls I know. His fee is €3k Best of luck with everything

A big, huge +1 on Dr Slevin. Found him fantastic throughout my 2 difficult pregnancies. His fee is 3k, think they are all teh same anyway. Best of luck
