With my last pregnancy I was pretty tolerant and easy going when it came to the Dr.'s office, I didn't know any better after all. But now after my birth experience and hearing from others how attentive their Dr.'s are I am beginning to question if mine is really the one for me.
I think this time around I am definitely looking for a little more support with the twins. I know they are a very busy office but I often wait an entire day to hear back from a nurse if I have a question. Today I called because I was worried that I completely lost symptoms on Monday, was having some cramping and some light discharge. When the nurse finally did return my call she essentially brushed me off and said to not call again unless I had bright red bleeding and if I was having a miscarriage anyways that they couldn't do anything to stop it! I know that they do this all day, but it wouldn't hurt to have an ounce of compassion for someone who is scared!
Maybe I am just being over emotional or thinking too much about things, but what would you think?
Re: Anyone not loving their OB?
I think that is awful that the nurse brushed you off and actually said that to you. I don't care if you are pregnant with 1 or 6, you deserved to be treated by your doctor/nurses with respect and sincerity. I do not think you are being emotional and would definitely look for another OB.
Also, it would bother me that they didn't call back the same day. What if you had an urgent matter about something to take/not to take, etc. I think if you feel uncomfortable you should go somewhere else. Maybe a friend or someone can recommend a dr?
I am sorry you are going through this! I hope it gets better soon!

This. 100%. I kept going to an OB with DD that rubbed me the wrong way, and it turned into a bit of a crisis situation around 32 weeks. Switch now while you're still early in the game and can probably get in somewhere else easily.

BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence
I haven't even met my OB yet, but I am very much less than impressed with my experience thus far with her nurses/the practice in general. Unfortunately, I have no choices with my insurance other than that practice:-( But I am moving out of state in 8 weeks and very excited that I don't have to deal with this one that whole time through delivery.
I say change, you don't want the stress of an OB and office you don't like while pregnant!
