I Don't Like My Obstetrician
|
I am 12 weeks along and I am not happy with my obstetrician. There are several other OB's in my community. Is it too late to start looking for a new doctor?

No. It's not. I switched OB's during my last couple of months. I started discussing my birth plan with my first OB and she was insistent on having things her way. She just wanted me to lie in a bed and have anesthesia and she went on and on even though I wanted to use a birthing ball and go through labor without any drugs. As long as you take all the information you need to your new doctor. Don't forget to bring all your bloodwork and the results of all of your tests and ultrasounds.

Most definitely not. Being happy with your obstetrician is one of the most important things during your pregnancy. By all means, go ahead and find one that you like. Someone that you trust can be very beneficial during pregnancy. You must feel comfortable with your doctor.

No never, it is your body, your baby and you need to feel comfortable with your OB. So if that is not the case, change. Your OB should give you all your pregnancy records so your new OB can continue with all facts regarding your pregancy present. Check with pregnant friends (or new mums) who they had as a OB and if they were happy with him.

For me my most important thing when I was pregnant was being comfortable with my doctor. Being pregnant is all about you and your health. If you are unhappy with your current ob, I would get a new doctor. As long as your previous doctor releases your files I would think you should be okay. The best thing to do is contact the doctor you are thinking of going to, and explain the situation. If they feel they can safely continue your care go with it.

Definitely not.You have some way to go until delivery.Always look for a good OB who pay attention to your baby then to your need.I saw a lot of women which were not satisfied with their OB only because the OB did not talk much to them, did not respond to some question they had.It is important to have a good communication with your OB, but more important is that OB pay a lot of attention to the pregnancy and the baby.

No its not late to look for another OB. It is important that you are in tandem with your OB otherwise it will be uncomfortable for both of you. You're current doctor have dealt with a lot of women pn this field and apart from her function as an OB-gyne sensing the patient's feeling is a high priority for him/her. Look for and OB-gyne that you will feel comfortable with and you'll be just fine.
