Weird OB appointment (warning long)

Since y'all know my history with this pregnancy AND you are all BTDT moms, I would rather ask this her than my birth month board. I went to the OB last week for my regular appt and glucose test. She comes in and knows I am a teacher so she asks if I am doing anything for Spring Break. I say no, just relaxing.

Then she asks if I have any questions/concerns, and I say no but mention my pubic bone pain and braxton hicks but also throw in that I know it is all normal. Then she looks at me and says, "Good, well, so are you doing anything fun over Spring Break?"..... I again say, "No, just relaxing".

I'm already thinking this is kind of weird that she hasn't mentioned that my fluid is up to a 16, a totally normal level, AND that tests have come back good, AND that Charlotte is growing.... you know, since the last time I was in there, she was telling me and my husband that delivering then would be the best option and I sat there bawling, and I mean SOBBING, in her office for a good ten minutes. I also thought that by 27 weeks she would be measuring fundal height, feeling around, something.

Then she says, "OK! Lets get you ultrasounded and measure this baby, see how its growing!"..... I say, "Well, we had one less than a week ago, we are going to the MFM once a week to monitor the fluid level, dopplers, and growth of the baby"... She looks through the paperwork showing the measurements we have gotten over the last 7 weeks (since this thing started) and says, "I'm just wondering if this is overkill?" Huh? 6 weeks ago, my fluid was a 2, and baby is small, and this and that. I say that I like the close monitoring considering how bad things looked not so long ago, hoping to jog her memory, but she repeats is again, "I'm just wondering if this is necessary?"

Then, she says she is "happy that Chalotte is growing, she is just on a smaller curve" AND THEN.... "SOOOOOO, are you doing anything fun for Spring Break?" WTF? Are you on drugs? NO- I'm just flipping relaxing!!!

All in all, I just got this weird vibe... thoughts? opinoins?

I feel like I am in a wierd place. I am 28 weeks, and don't really want to go around interviewing new OB's and we have already paid her delivery fee. I LOVED her with my last and competely normal pregancy. I just feel stuck.

    Hmm. Honestly if I were in that position I would probably be looking for another doctor, but I can understand why at this point in the game you don't want to start over. If you really feel strongly about not switching doctors, I would definitely ask if yo

    She may have just been having an off day! Maybe had been up late in ld the night before or just gotten some bad personal news or had to give some bad news to another patient.

    I would probably give it one more appointment, but if you're still not comfortable then, make a change. I left my OB practice for a midwife group at 37 weeks. I don't recommend waiting as long as I did!

    I would wait until my next appointment. If you are still not happy, consider switching. I would however voice my concern to the MD about their obvious lack of memory if it happened again.

    Just wanted to post a HECK YEA for Fluid level of 16 that is rocking Mama! Keep up the good work and enjoy your restful spring break, restful spring break, restful spring break. Felt like I should say it 3 times so your OB can hear it.

    I would look for another doctor. If she doesn't have her stuff together now, I wouldn't trust her with delivery. My opinion.
