anyone else?

Gregermis · September 2010

So.... I have my first appointment with an actual OB/Gyn tomorrow. I had a phone chat with mom a couple of weeks ago and she asked if I had an OB/Gyn yet... I told her that I'd been getting my yearly exams, but no, my Dr. was in internal medicine and doesn't deliver babies....

Anyone else not actually have an OB/Gyn yet? I feel a bit sheepish Embarrassed

I had one--a great one, that I'd really been looking forward to helping me through the whole process, but she left the practice

I have never met any of the other ones at the OB/GYN office, so I hope I get another great one!

I just made an appointment with one for early November. A good one is hard to find, especially when you've recently relocated. Before that, I didn't have a relationship with an OBGYN in this area.

I do have an OB/GYN, but you will be fine!

I started a search about a year and a half ago. I first found the hospital that I new I wanted to deliver at and then did a search of OBs affiliated with that hospital. I was still on theknot at that time so I asked for recs on my old board and also on thenest local board.

Good luck!

I have a wonderful GYN who just recently stopped taking OB patients. She is with another woman in her practice who does still take OB, but she can only handle so many at a time so if I don't get my practice's ONE OB, they have to refer me elsewhere. It's kind of a crapshoot on how many other pregnant women she has when I get KU

I have the exact opposite problem. I have had an OB/Gyn for years, but never did establish with a primary care provider. Embarrassed

And I don't even have any LOs yet.

I don't have one yet. My PCP does my paps. So you are not alone. If I have another CD1 like I did this cycle (horrible, horrible pain with paramedics called), I will get a referral to an OBGYN.

Hey you, good luck at your appt. I have always had an ob or obgyn for my yearly exams. I like having the specialist for what ever issue I need them for. Is it a male or female doc? I always had male mds until I moved to pdx and now have a great female doc. I love her. Good luck. I fly home today from maui : (

I go to a physicians assistant for my annual exams and any normal doctor visits. I really love her, so I'm waiting as long as possible to make the switch. I plan on going to my SIL's OBGYN when I get pregnant though. I'm glad that I at least have someone in mind, that my SIL trusts and speaks so well of.

katieworek · September 2010

I am in the same boat...my current Dr is in internal medicine. When I went in for my yearly exam, I told her that we were going to start TTC and she gave me a list of OB's in the area that she liked. I haven't called the Dr's on the list yet though and probably won't until I reach the 1 yr mark of TTC or get KU.

I wouldn't worry about it. Smile

I don't really have one either. I have a name of one that I hope that I can get an appointment with and I hope they will work out.

I don't have a PCP either Indifferent I only have specialists (OB/GYN and Derm) - last year I got bronchitis and didn't have a PCP, luckily a good friend of mine is a fellow in allergy and immunology so she gave me antibiotics (after doing her due diligence and listening to my lungs) - haven't had a need (yet) for a PCP.

DH's Dr told me to get a tetanus shot before we get KU (bc you can't if you are) and I don't have anyone to go to...his dr said maybe my OB will do it but I doubt it.

Oh yea - and I only go to MDs (no DOs, PAs, NPs, RNs) - prob b/c I come from a family full of drs (past, present and future)

Actingdiva09 · September 2010

I don't have one yet. The doctor I want doesn't do regular exams anymore, she's switching to just have KU patients. So I go to my PCP for my annual, and hopefully can get in with this AMAZING doctor (she has delivered all of my friends babies) whenever I finally get KU.

soontobe05 · September 2010

I technically have one because she was the one I used for DD, but I have since decided I dislike her and upon many opinions from friends I'm going to be switching if we get KU again.

Ah boo on the home from Maui... I've never been to Hawaii. Have a safe flight!

Thank you everyone for sharing. I figure it can't hurt to get a relationship status started with an OB/gyn... esp since all my appointments thus far have been at my school's on campus clinic (not very good). Plus I've been having weird abdominable pains (not O pain and not cramping).

Thanks again!

I don't have a PCP either. I hated my last one and just never got around to getting another one.

As for the obgyn, I actually changed mine several years ago when my old one stopped delivering babies. I picked a new obgyn that my old one recommended and who was affiliated at the hospital that I want to deliver at. I wanted to have a relationship with her before we TTC, so I figured why wait?
