Has anyone had to find a new doctor while being 8 mo pregnant?!?

Yep, I get to move to a brand new state and try and find a doctor I can trust.  I'm super stressed about this Indifferent  Time is running out, so I feel like I can't be too picky and just pick a doctor and stick with her.  Anyone else in my situation?  I will be about 35 weeks pregnant when it will be time to switch.

    I switched from an OB to a midwife group at 37 weeks. Check out ratemds.com to find a doctor in that area. Call OBs/midwives NOW and don't wait until you move.

    Where are you moving to?  Maybe someone on here can help you out with a recommendation.

    I am in the same boat. We are moving from Louisiana to Texas (military move) at the end of the month. I will be 33 weeks... and I have to try to be able to schedule an appointment for the week we get there. I have a feeling it will be very hard considering I have to go to the big military hospital and to their OB clinic and I heard it is very hard to get appointments there... good luck!!!

    I just switched OB's this week at 34 weeks because I've hated my ob for years. The new practice didn't care at all as long as I got my records which were easy to get.

    I switched doctors at 32 weeks. The biggest headache was obtaining/transferring my medical records.  If you could get a personal copy of your records that would probably be best.  I basically used google to cross reference doctors names with what my insurance accepts. Good luck!

    I'm moving next week and due to new insurance will not be able to be authorized for an OB until 36 1/2 weeks. Yeah, apparently they can't tell I'm pregnant by looking at me, someone else has to approve that. Then I will find try to make a doctor see me! I only have a few choices with this insurance so I'm very nervous. I've looked at online ratings and what not but they only freaked me out. Every one of the doctors I can use has at least one or two very negative reviews so try to look at the overall picture.   Good luck!

    I switched OB's at 36 weeks due to a change in insurance. Yes it was scary and I honestly didn't think I would be able to find a doctor that I liked but after making a few phone calls, I was able to find a group that I LOVE! There are 3 docs there and they are all great!

     See if there is a local board for where you are moving to and ask the gals there to recommend their doctors. That's where I heard about my new OB.
