I am considering changing my doctor. I am currently 26 weeks. Is this a bad idea?? I don't care for my doctor not very personable..always seems to be in a rush. I have seen her 2-3 times my whole pregnancy and I have seen the nurse practitioner 3 times. Just not pleased!

    The decision is yours and yours alone. Well yours and DH's. If you aren't pleased or comfortable, go for it.

    You should be comfortable throughout your pregnancy and if you are not then I would change.

    I'm in the process of switching providers from a hospital based midwife to a home birth midwife. Do what you're comfortable with and don't settle for someone you don't really like.

    I would! I was in that position with my first. There were 2 other Drs in the practice so I just changed that way! Best choice ever!!!!! Now I think I'll do the same. I'm in a different area, but the nurse and dr were so unprofessional!!!! I wanted to cry!

    And were you able to fix your insurance and get a better sonogram?

    @armywife8289 I am glad that you finally were able to get to see a doctor. Going this far without prenatal care can be scary. Did you ever get it confirmed if you are having twins or not? I know you were pretty anxious about it. Best of luck to you. Hope everything turned out for you. :)

    OP if you are having problems with your OB switching now would be best. I wouldn't wait too much longer though.

    I switched from a dr and practice that seemed a bit incompetent to a hospital based midwife. I'm so glad I did. If you and your doctor are not meshing well, I'd say switch! Just do your research before choosing a new practice to go to do you won't have to switch again.
