35 weeks pg and I just walked out of my doctor's appointment. I'm so pissed off. My group merged with another group and the wait is much longer and to get in touch with a nurse or doctor it is impossible. I have about a month left and I don't know if I should change doctor's now. I live 40 minutes away and the only reason why I kept this doctor was bec. it was close to my office. Uggghh.. I'm so pissed. I don't know what to do. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Our groups merged at the last minute and we ended up having a dr we didn't know or like at the birth. If you are at all unhappy, i say switch now while you can! [ Reply | More

Only if you don't care who is at the birth. We ended up having what I think was an unnecessary c-section because the doctor we ended up with was a high-risk doctor. It would be a hassel, yes. You just need to decide if you'd rather be hasseled by nobody getting back to you on the phone and possibly having a strange Dr at your birth. Again, if you don't really care too much, don't bother.

Thank you for the advice. I hear what you are saying, but the other issue is we have SUA (Single Umbical Artery) and I trust in the fact that my group knows my history and can handle everything. [ Reply | More

np: I would sit on this for a few hours... you are rightly pissed, but it may wear off a bit with some time. Changing docs at this point would probably be a major PITA, especially if you have a high risk thing going on. [ Reply | More

I'm not sure what you mean. With my first we had a natural birth with some drugs, so I was thinking that we were going to be doing the samething, unless they felt that I needed to have a c-section. [ Reply | More

i emant, do you want to go drug free, how much intervention do you want. doulas reduce the rate of most interventions and can advocate fro you when you are in labor. it mgiht be worth considering if you arne't comfortable with the docs that mgiht deliver you. [ Reply | More

Oh, thanks.. I actually prefer the drugs. It is't my issue of who will deliver the baby, it is the fact that going for the visit they are waisting my time. Thanks for your imput. [ Reply | More

I wouldn't bother switching at this point since it's just a matter of the waits--you are almost done, anyway, and who knows what the waits would be like at another practice. I would consider hiring a doula though if you don't know who's going to be on call when you deliver. At least there will be someone in the room who really knows what you want. -NP [ Reply | More
