Wow... It sounds like she's not very respectful of you! I would be looking for someone else. How far along are you? I've only had 2 appts and have tried different people at the clinic both times. Next appt will be with someone different too. They all deliver at the same hospital, so I thought I'd try them each once, so I know who will be delivering my baby and then I'll pick my favorite to do the majority of my care with. Maybe you'd be better off finding a clinic with a variety of people to choose from.

I am 24 weeks. The baby is due Feb 24th. So I'm not sure if its too late to change or not. But at least I'm goin to call my insurance and see what I can do. THanks for your advice...

Find another ob. I didnt like my first one because he seemed cold so I went to my moms ob/gyno and I love her. They're having me do kind of what armchairangel is doing by seeing all the Drs so I comfortable with them in case my Dr. cant deliver my baby. You dont have to stick with a Dr. you dont like, its up to you who you see. I would find a different one though if I were you. Hope this helped. :)

I'm really surprised that she said they cant measure the baby's head... my ob JUST did this on Monday at my first US. I WATCHED him do it on the screen, he measured to see how old the baby is compared to my period due date to give me the most accurate date for a due date. I think i'd be finding another OB as well and i dont think it's too far along to change, my sister-in-law is 5 months pregnant and had a scare with an amniotic band and her doc didn't act like it was even there... needless to say, she switched dr's and she's due at the end of January... I say switch and do it now!!! Good luck i'm here if you need to talk! :)

I have always liked my doctors (I've seen 4 different ones for pregnancy and another just for a check-up). My problem has always been with office staff! If you are really uncomfortable with this dr. ask around to see if you can get some recommendations form others and then start calling to see if they will see you.

Oh...one more thing. My dr. delivered my first son, but a dr. I had never met delivered my second son. I knew this was a possibility, and I was OK with it, UNTIL I met him - he was such a JERK! BUT, he got my baby out safe and sound. I'm not sure if you can guarantee liking your delivery dr., unless you can find a large practice where you like all the doctors. Good luck!

Start finding another doc ASAP! I waited until I was 30+ weeks and by then it was too hard to find a doc that could fit me in. This is a time I would really take her advice and find another practice. good luck

I would find another OB. You want to be comfortable with the person who is going to be part of bringing your child into this world.

I say find another one NOW!!!! I am the same way as you, not very comfortable with having a male doc. I had a midwife, but she left the practice a couple of weeks ago. Even though it is more woman doc's in the practice, only the males deliver and are on call. So I started to look for another doc. It was too late though. I tried my first ob.gyn that I ever had, she would have taken me, but didn't want to because she was taking a vacation close to my due date and didn't think that was fair to me. She referred me to another doc, but he was a male. So that crossed him out. Make sure you check with your insurance and see how the billing thing goes. I would have kept looking at but I called my insurance to see how I would be billed for it. With my insurance you have to pay $100.00 all together for all of your prenatal visits. They said I could change and who ever delivered my baby would be the one's who would get that $100.00 and I would've had to pay the ob I went to first $35.00 for each time they had seen me. I was already 34 weeks, and way too much money for me to have to come up with. So needless to say, I stayed with the male docs and sucked it up. Yesterday was the first time meeting him, and he wasn't bad at all. He was very nice. I'm ok with him. I guess I don't really have a choice. You still have a choice, so I say make up your mind and do it quick before you end up like me.

ok thanks everyone! Im gonna call my insurance today to find out what i can do.

I WOULD SAY NO FORCEPS GO WITH C SECTION BEFORE THAT.
MY DAUGHTER WAS DELIVERED FORCEPS AND ENDED UP HAVING SEIZURES. NOT SAYING THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS BUT JUST SOME FRIENDLY ADVICE.

I agree with the others... find another OB. If she's this rude now, how is she going to be during delivery when you are especially vulnerable? It's never too late to switch. You want someone who respects you and your needs. I adore my OB. He's respectful, knowledgeable, comforting and funny. Good luck.

wow if my doctor ever treated me like that id give her a piece of my mind.. If i were you i would switch doctor's.. no one has the right to treat you like that especially you MD. My first obgyn barely acknowleged my existence when i saw her & didnt ans my questions so I switched & Im much happier with my new doctor. She takes my concerns very seriously & explains everything to me when i ask.. I wish you the best of luck with the baby & finding a new doctor

I would find another too. This is your baby's birth and you need to be comfortable! My OB is amazing - I love him! It can take a while to find "the right one" - maybe ask around to friends/coworkers/family and see about their experiences?

Gosh! I think that shouldn't be the way to answer your questions. I think I would change a different gynae afterall, shouldn't I be more concerned about my own health and my baby? And I want to be comfortable and happy throughout my pregnancy all the way up to the day I deliver. I wouldn't really want to be worrying about what she would think and say everytime I am due for my appts, those worries are uncalled for.. You are definitely better off with someone you can be comfortable with...
