I finally got a new obgyn at a different office. I am getting blood work and hopefully gender this week.
Were you comfy during the blood work and who was your doc?
Anyone see Vanessa Yium?
I'm anxious and excited I'm finally moving along with doc visits(last office messed things up for us. Very disappointed)

Dr Reich did my delivery, which was not great and turned into an emergency c section. My whole family and my husband disliked her and felt she was just ready for her shift to be over and did not make me a priority. I will not be going back.
I use this practice and actually switched to this practice since I moved to Round Rock in my 14th week from Houston. Dr. Nash is my doctor and I LOVE her and her nurse. She is a down to earth woman with kids of her own so she's been through it. We had some concerns early in my pregnancy and she handled the situation with care and was human with her answers, not just stating the facts. Dr. Oliver ended up delivering via c-section and she did an amazing job. I would highly recommend both of these doctors! The nurse practitioners are great too. I rarely have to wait in the waiting room for Dr Nash, but I also schedule my appointments at the beginning of the day on purpose.
I'm way late to this conversation, but I did have a pretty strong reaction to WPIH.
I was actually really discouraged by my experience there with Dr. Reich. I think I saw her a couple times just for regular annual appointment-type things. She came highly recommended, and I had been frustrated with my previous doctor, so I had high hopes. My problem was that I felt I wasn't being taken seriously about my desire to talk about options and how to prepare for those options in terms of becoming a mom on my own around 35, if there weren't a promising relationship in progress. I got the, "oh, sweetie, you'll find someone...don't give up hope" reaction, which was completely beside the point. I have always known I wanted to be a mom, and I knew the guy would come around eventually, but I didn't want to assume they would happen in the "traditional" order, so I wanted to know my options. Dr Reich was the second doctor who I felt blew me off, instead of saying something like, "the traditional timing will likely happen for you, but let's talk about your options for getting pregnant if the right man isn't on the horizon."
And...I found that in Dr. Phillips up at Austin Area OBGyn. We live NO WHERE near him (we're in South Austin), but I have always felt listened to and taken very good care of before my husband was on the scene and when we were surprised with a positive pregnancy test. My husband really likes him too. While I adore Dr. Phillips, I am disappointed that the two women I worked with didn't take me, as a woman making my own life decisions, seriously.
As a side note, I met my husband at 34, we got married at 36. And now, after significant troubles getting here, I'll be 39 when I give birth to our (and my) first. So, the traditional order did end up happening, but either way I felt that I was with a doctor and was well-prepared even if that didn't happen. Dr. Phillips and his nurses are AMAZING, as are all the other doctors there I've seen when going in on weekends for IUI or shots or whatever the heck else I went in there for so many weekends. :-)
