New Obgyn or Old Obgyn

sunsetlove · April 2009

Ladies: Quick question: for those ttc.. did you stick to your old obgyn or did you deside to start over with a new obgyn? for those who stuck with their old obgyn was it because the doctor knew your medical history.. and for those who started over with a new obgyn.. was it because it was too hard to go back to where you had your loss.. if you wouldn't mind sharing.. i appreiate it.. thank you

I was with an ob/gyn for many years, I got new insurance and switched. Got pg, lost it and now I am going back to my original ob/gyn because my insurance changed again.

I switched to a new OB but in the same office.

The new one was the actual dr who delivered, so she's not totally new, but I feel like I have that connection with her.

It is easier not seeing the person I saw through my pregnancy though, IMO.

I am staying with my old OBGYN, I couldn't imagine going to someone new after she treated us so well with not only our pg but the loss. She is young, but very knowledgeable and so compasionate. She honestly cried with DH and I when we found out that our daughter had Trisomy 18, she kept appologizing to us that we had to go through it. Then at my follow up after D&E she said she cannot wait to see us back in a couple months when we are pg again and has even called to check up on us. I heart my OB!

I briefly considered switching because I was just so mad when I m/c and mad at my OB for seeming so clinical, and mad that she couldn't tell me why it happened. When that stage passed, I reconsidered. She knows my history and in my followups I felt comfortable with her again, as I had at my first OB appt. For me she is the right mix of doing things by the book but not being too uptight either.

I am in the process on switching to a new ob/gyn. I had been with the old one for a long time they were fine for just the normal yearly exams but I felt like they treated me like just a number during my MC. My new ob/gyn was recommend by a friend. It is a smaller more presonal office then what I had before. Plus now I have bad memories of the old office and don't want to go back there.

My OB and the entire practice I go to has been wonderful through my first pregnancy and through my recent loss. I went in today for bloodwork and 2 Dr's, the receptionist and 2 nurses all made sure to stop in and say hi and see DS while I was there and check up on how I was feeling. I debated switching to a midwife, but I just feel so at home here and so does my husband that there's no way we're switching.

I really like my OB, so I'll be sticking with him. When I do get pg again, if I can make it out of the first trimester, I'm be switching to the midwife's office. While I love my OB, I don't love some of the other doctors, and you don't get a choice when it's time to deliver.

I am switching obgyns. I had no real ties to the one I was going to and really didn't like how they handled my miscarriage. I've had a personal recommendation from a friend for another one (there are only 2 in town)...but I've also heard bad things too. I think I'm going to give them a try.

The problem in my town is there are only 2 practices and you can't just use one doctor (or two in the practice) and they both seem to have their fair share of jerks.

I'll be sticking with my old OBGYN. She was absolutely incredible throughout the entire thing and I could not have asked for a more supportive doctor. Now that we've been through three losses together I don't think I'll ever switch. She's also had multiple losses herself which helps.?

She even sent me flowers, gave me her cell # and called to check up on me a few days later each time. She is AWESOME.?

It's been 4 years since my daughters birth and 4 months since my m/c! I went back to my OB/GYN that I went to for my daughter. I go to an OB/GYN for Paps and regular check-ups closer to my house! but when it comes to PG....I go to the one that's a little out of my way...but way worth it!! So go to your old...they know you and your history.

thank you ladies for sharing your stories: we are thinking of trying again and i'm desiding weather to keep my ob or switch.. here's my backstory: when we first ttc.. i went to a new obgyn( new insurance)..for my annual.. few months passed i was going to make an appointment and talk to her, but i was told she left the practice.. so i had to find another ob( i didn't like the other drs in her practice).. my friend referred me to an ob that she use to go to ( her insuance switch so she had to cancel her ob).. this ob was great.. she was apart of a great medical group.. 2nd Ob: did my annual check-up and some tests.. to make sure everything was ok.. 2 months later i was pregrant.. i had to make an appointment, but my ob wasn't avaliable so the receptionist made an appointment with another ob in the same practice.. 3rd ob followed me through my 2 appointments, m/c, and d&c.. she's a great OB and knows my medical history, but i also like my 2nd Ob ..with the 2nd Ob she has a positive outlook( i know after 1 appointment i could tell a some amount of connection). the 3rd ob was good.. she took awhile to warm up 2.. yet i heard from family members during my d&c.. she came out afterwards talked my family and gave her condolences..my family said she had an excellent bedside manner.. so, i'm torn what to do... any thoughts would be helpful..

I'm sticking with my old one because I really like her. She has a great outlook on everything and she knows my history as well.
