Doula and switching doctors!

suprchicy · May 2009

I'm so excited now. I met with a doula yesterday. Not only is she fantastic, but there is a chance I might be high risk (I find out after my U/S Friday) and she has experience with that and even wrote a doula certification just for high risk patients.

She also gave me to recommendations for doctors so now I am 100% sure I am going to switch docs. I didn't have any issues until the last 2 visits. When my husband was there, we didn't feel rushed and he answered all our questions. When it has just been me, he is literally backing out the door and hasn't even been in the room 5 minutes with me. He also did not address my concern about my migraines during labor and just kind of brushed it off, which really bothered me since I get horriffic migraines, especially if my blood sugar drops. The new docs also deliver at MVH, so I can at the very least do water labor, and possibly water birth if I'm not high risk! YAY! I'm actually excited for labor now.

Edit: apparently I can't type today, I got TWO recommendations

Sounds great! What did they find out in the u/s that may make you high risk?

Cat: My big U/S is Friday with a perinatologist. I was born with a congenital heart defect, so they are checking the baby. If the baby has a heart defect, it may make me high risk depending on what they find and the severity.
