How do you feel when you see your OBGYN?

There is a "Flashback" post below which got me thinking.  How do you feel when you see your doctor now?  Mine was so incredibly conforting that when I see her now I get all teary and just want to hug her. I feel so lucky to have such a great doctor.  But it also brings back the memories of my loss.  She was the one to confirm it and also performed the D&C of course.  But she was also the one to hold my hand and wipe away my tears when I broke down on the operating table while being prepped for anesthesia.  I'm so grateful for her.

I get all stabby and hateful feeling when I think about my old OB.  But I get the warm fuzzies like you do when I think about my new one.  Love her to bits.

Wow, sounds like you have a really great OBGYN.  I liked mine but she was on maternity leave when my m/c happened, isn't that great- so I was seen by no one but the ER doc.  I think going back to my OBGYN would bring back feelings from my m/c, but we're moving so I won't be going back there anymore.

I don't really have a steady OB right now, since I switched practices right after we got released from our RE.  The one I have seen since my D&E was fantastic and we requested to see her.

I love my RE and ran into her at Starbucks the other day.  It makes me nervous to see her outside of clinic - i have no idea why.  My stomach flipped the other day when I saw her before I said hi and she looked at me.

I love my OB. She is the best! I have been through many ups and downs with her over the last ten years. I get all teary when I see her now, but I have had two losses in the last six months. I do believe her though, when she tells me she thinks I will have another successful pregnancy. She gives me hope.

When I think of my old OB I still get really angry. As if MC'ing wasn't bad enough, he put me through so much more than what was necessary. I'm having a hard time with "forgive and forget" when it comes to him. That office alone holds so much anxiety for me, I couldn't imagine going back there.

My new OB, though, is wonderful. When I think of him, I feel very hopeful. He's been so proactive with everything so far, and I feel confident that he'll help me get my LO.

I haven't seen or talked to my doc since the CP/MC.  I've only talked to her nurse several times, and she's been somewhat cold to me.  Even telling me at one point that I probably was never PG and just got a false positive.  I wanted to stab her.  I said "So, you think I got THREE false positives plus a TON of PG symptoms since 5dpo?"  She said "Oh, you're miscarrying then."  Biotch. If I didn't absolutely LOVE my doctor, I would leave the practice.  My friend goes to the same practice and also had problems with that nurse when she m/c'd. Sigh.

I have cried every time I have ever seen my OB. I absolutely adore him, but he does kind of remind me of all the heartache of my two losses. I also cried during my first (good) u/s last pregnancy because I had flashbacks of the u/s before that one which confirmed my first m/c.

I love my Dr.  I hate the memories I have of going into the office, but my Dr. is amazing with how she dealt with my losses.  I recommend her to anyone looking for an OBGYN.
