Better Care

Feb 28, 2007 11:42

So, I've been feeling uncomfortable with my OBGYN this entire pregnancy. It seemed that everytime I complained of anything or asked a question I was given the brush off. I don't think I've recieved "bad" medical care, it's just this, "hurry up and get the hell out of here, you're wasting my time" feeling I get instead. At the same time, I didn't want to switch providers because well, I'm so very far along in the game. Then I met a Doula and she reccommended that I try a new OBGYN that has a midwife in their practice. The midwife doesn't deliver the babies, but just having that level of care is important to me.

Today was my first appointment and I tossed and turned all night, concerned I was making a mistake and not trusting my intuition...

I went in today and it was amazing. She actually listened to me, (my appointment started at 8:45 and I got out at 10:45) she alleiviated my concerns, and did a full exam. I feel like a weight has been lifted. :)

Someday, I will learn to trust my intuition.
