I'm 36wks preg and I don't trust my obgyn its too late to change what should I d!
Question: I have three other kids. I know how a obgyn visit should go. And I'm familiar with being pregnant. I know all pregnancies are different but his info seems to contradict with everything and everybody I have come across. I guess I just have a feeling. It seems that he dismisses me and dosen't listen at all. He dosen't talk with me he talks at me. What should I do?
Answers:
This is your body and your baby. Your helath and the health of your child are in your
hands. You only get one chance. Trust me the dr. does not think about you when you leave the office. Take control of your life and do what you feel is right.
Dont let the Medical system dictate your life. You will regret it later.
Like the above poster said consider a midwife or birthing center. Midwives are covered by alot of insurance now.
Have you tried talking to this dr. Alot of them are arrogant and dismissive esp to women but its possible hes just on autodrive. Maybe you should say hey! Are you even paying attention to me because I dont feel like you are! You never know he might change his attitude toward you then.
Other Answers:
you can switch doctors whenever you want to if you dont like the way that he treats you or the fact that he doesnt listen you can continue to see him until your baby is born you do not have to have him deliver your baby they have people on call at the hospital to do that if you need them to so if you dont trust him remember that he will be delivering your baby that is alot to put into someone whom you dont trusts hands
It's never too late to change doctors if you don't feel comfortable. After all, it's your health and your baby's health that we're talking about. You should definitely work with a doctor that you can trust. If you don't want to go to another doctor, consider a midwife or a birthing center.
The fact that you even had to ask this question means you have to change docs
I am so sorry that you feel like this. As if you don't have enough to worry about with 3 other kids. Trust your instinct. Please try to find another doctor or midwife. Try calling everyone in the phone book. Maybe try calling the hospital where you will give birth and ask them what to do. Good Luck!
I say definitely change doctors if at all possible. I like the suggestions the others gave about using a midwife or call the hospital and use whoever is on call. I really had a hard time with my obgyn. She had a horrible bedside manner and almost never made eye contact. I really felt she didn't care. I lived in a small town and there wasn't a big selection of docs so I stayed with her and totally regret it. I changed docs soon after giving birth and found a wonderful doctor right there under my nose. Please change I don't want you to have a bad experience like me. Good luck!
