Mobile bump:  I'm still pregnant...and a WWYD

::sigh::

41w1d, and things are getting much more uncomfortable than I'd hoped for.  But at least I'm still getting around fairly well.  I have a non stress test today, and my doctor has me scheduled for an induction at the end of the week.

 Here's the question:  He gave me the option of either Thursday or Friday to induce.  On Thursday the doctor on hospital rounds is the only doctor in their practice that I've never seen, so I don't know anything about him.  On Friday is one of the doctors that I do know pretty well, but she makes me a little nervous.  She has always seemed a little rushed and frazzled during my check-ups, so I guess you could say that she doesn't put me at ease.

So, WWYD?  Go with the unknown doctor?  Or go with the doctor that I actually know, but has made me a little nervous in the past?

ETA:  My doctor that I see regularly broke his foot, and is getting around on a scooter.  So he is not doing any deliveries right now, which is why he's not an option.

    I'm sorry you're still pregnant!

    I would choose the unknown doc over one that makes me nervous.

    Wow, can't imagine still being pregnant. I would go with the unknown doctor. I wouldn't be comfortable with the other one, especially if she already makes you feel nervous!

    I'm sorry this LO is still keeping you waiting.

    I agree with everyone else: I'd rather go with a Dr I don't know and who may or may not be great, than go with one who I know for a fact will make me nervous.

    Did you tell your regular doc the woman doc.gives you trepidation? I think I would go with the stranger, too, like everyone else said. How crummy your options are a stranger or someone who gives you a bad vibe. : You're a trooper for making it this long, though !

    If you haven't had the NST yet today, can you ask to see/meet the other doctor while you're there? Either way, I would go for Thursday if I were you.

    Now, let me speak to your baby. GET OUT HERE ALREADY!

    Also? depending what you end up choosing and how long your labour is, you might end up with a solstice baby - how cool is that!

    I'd go with the absolute latest possible induction.  Hopefully baby comes before then anyway, good luck!!

    Hopefully baby will come on it's own before then!

    I would choose the doctor that I don't know, at least there is a chance of liking him.
