So, I hate my OB/GYN.

Hi725

Is it crazy to consider switching doctors at 30 weeks when I'm technically high risk? I fear I may beat the sh*t out of her if I have to sit through one more appointment.

Every motherfuckingthing that comes out of her mouth is negative and I'm doing harm to my unborn child.

It's not oversensitive pregnant hormones at work, either. At my previous appointment, I kept my mouth shut and after we walked out the door, H was like "she's out of control, is she always like that?"

I do not want her to deliver this baby. If I have to sit through labor, or a repeat c/s with her nasty little remarks, I will lose my sh*t.

I think it's fine to switch- what does she say to you?!

IamAli

If you HATE her, switch, although it may be tough to find someone else to take you on this late in the game.

angelaa73

What did that tool say?

alzi

Take this for what it's worth, as I have not birthed a baby - BUT if she is that bad, and she is going to make your labor/deliver bad, I would switch.

Ugh, I'm sorry she sucks. Did she just start sucking? Or did she just start getting to you now?

This phrase is making the rounds today..

I will cut a biitch!  

iamgrace

Switch! What does she say??

MrsBeagle

Is there someone else in the same practice that you can see?  Then you won't have to transfer records or anything.

It's a long story, but tonight's highlights were

 I drink about a gallon of water every day, today happened to be the one single exception because work was chaos. My urine was a little (and I mean only a little) dark and she flipped and grilled me on water intake. So I told her I probably didn't drink enough today because my schedule was nuts.."You need to drink more water. If you get dehydrated you could go into preterm labor and the baby is really too small to come out now."

I failed my 1 hour glucose test and tried to get my 3 hour test done this past saturday. The lab messed up with the scheduling and sent me home without the test. I rescheduled for this coming saturday. She gave me the third degree about the test like she didn't believe I had scheduled it in the first place and then added "Diabetes babies can have all kinds of health risks. You really can't put this test off. You don't want anything to happen to the baby, do you?. 

When I was pregnant with Shane I gained a ridiculous amount of weight and that was a problem for her. This time I'm eating healthier, and am up 21 pounds. Apparently I didn't gain enough between this visit and the last because she started grilling me about caloric intake and again highlighted all of the lovely things that can happen to my baby if I don't eat enough. 

There are multiple other things she's said over the last few visits that have pushed me into the "I hate her fuckingguts" zone.

And, she's a single practitioner. I would have to do a full switch. I'm wondering if it's worth the headache, or if I should just stick it out.

Sue_sue

Omg switch. 

Tambcat

I would switch! If you remember, I switched OBs midway through my pregnancy and was so much happier.

eta: I just read your follow-up. Even though you'd have to switch practices, I'd still do it. In fact, while it might be more of a hassle, it would probably be less awkward that way b/c you'd have more of a clean break.

ugh, she sounds... pleasant.  Dude.  cut and run!

angelaa73

Cut bait she suxors 

 

MontereyBride

Fcuk her and her biznatchy ways. 

Switch, write a scathing letter, and tell the world why she sucks on yelp and whatever other websites there are.

I have never been pregnant/given birth, but you sound miserable with her and she sounds like a hosebeast.  If you can switch, I totally would. It can't hurt to call around and see if others would take you.  Then, when you do switch, I would definitely tell her why.  

cvillebetrothed

switch.

you're going to be bringing a new little one into the world.  you don't want a dragonlady biitchface there for it.

Quesera

I would switch. You're a professional adult who has already done this, you don't deserve to be condescended to. 

BABisme

She sounds horrific. 

I would switch.  OMG

SWITCH. I don't talk about this often but 9 years ago I gave my daughter up for adoption. I was in my late 20's and a single mother already. For the 1st trimester my OBGYN constantly said thing about how much I would regret my choice, how it was horrible I could give away my own child, and a myriad of other awful things. Switching doctors made my life so much less stressful, and who needs stress when you are creating a life? Don't feel bad, your feelings don't seem to matter to her. Find a new doctor!
