I dont like my doctor at all...but i only have a week left of my pregnancy and there is no point in switching doctors. Last week i went to the doctor and had my blood pressure and weight done, the nurse led me to the room where the doctor would see me...the doctor came in and was like ok so how are you doing i was like fine.. she said well Im not going to check to see if your dilated, because your most likely not...(keep in mind I was 38 weeks pregnant) but she continued to say but if you would really like me to I will. So of course I was like yes please check its better to know...so she checked and can you believe she was like well um Im not sure if you are and then she finally came to the conclusion that I wasnt dilated... then she was saying I cant tell if the babys head is down or if the butt is down I was furious I said well last week you told me the babys head was down and for the longest time the babys head was down... so she lifted my shirt and felt the baby and said yeah that feels like the babys head and that feels like the babys butt yeah she's head first... OMG someone please HELP I could be my own doctor for what she does for me. ↓

| GIrl, I would have been hot!!!! I would nicely ask her if when I have appointment if she could actually make the appointment about me and my babies well fair. I would let her know that I felt like she was not giving my pregnancy that 100% interest and we need to have a good communtication line and I feel like we don't. GIrl tell that hussy something!!!! It is your right, shoot you are paying her for soing a piss poor job...maybe she has too many patients and can't deal with all of them...i sure would ask her tail...good luck girl I am cheering for ya. ↑ |

| I feel like she doesnt do her job to the fullest because Im only 17 years old and she doesnt think i know whats going on or what should be done.. but in all actuallity I know whats going on and I know what to expect.. my age is nothing but a number my maturity is on another level...i mean come on its time to grow up no i have a child on the way... Im not stupid...being 17 and not knowing to much before my pregnancy Ive done so much researching and what not I could be my own doctor for what she does.. ↑ |

| I have to say, you are paying a doctor for a service...if they are preforming that service poorly, or in a *excuse the term* half assed fashion...I would find someone else to preform the service. Is there more than one doctor in the office you go to? If so, I would see about them.... If you don't feel comfortable changing doctors, then don't be afraid to speak up. You may be 17, but your 17 years of "mommy" now...if you feel you as a patient need something...demand it...if you want to know something...ask it...don't worry if it sounds dumb or if you have already asked it 1000 times. These doctors get ENORMOUS amounts of money, to answer your questions over and over, and to check if your dialated...even if they don't want to bother...I would be annoying the crap out of her..."Oh my boob hurts...what could it be? ...Oh my toe is swollen...am I going into labor now?....Oh I saw a cartoon and the light hurt my eyes, will it hurt the baby?" If they are going to treat you like your dumb, I would be making comments like that next visit, and finishing up with a sarcastic..."See, it could be alot worse, you could have a patient like that..." ↑ |

| Because she is so unsure and evidently incompetent YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUEST A CESAREAN SECTION, and do not allow her to talk you out of it. Request it now...call her tomorrow and let her know that is your plan--to have a C section. ↑ |

| The thing is is i do tell her my complaints and everytime i get the same response of yes sweetheart thats a part of pregnancy... for example i have scoliosis and i complained of really really bad back pain the baby is laying on a nerve and its painful and she just said oh thats a part of pregnancy... but tomorrow i have a doctors appointment and my mother in law is going in with me and tommy (hubby) and she is gonna raise hell.. thank god because i guess thats what its gonna take ↑ |

Honestly...It doesnt matter how far along you are..if you arent happy with your doc. you need to find another one...are there any others in that office...or is it just her? it would probably be hard to find someone so late....but if you feel you or your baby are at risk for being hurt because of your doc. find someone else!.....Has she always been like this?...Cause you need someone who will listen to you and check out whatever you may be concerned about!........
Hope everything goes well....Congradulations!
God Bless! ↑ |

Hi there, you poor thing. I agree with the other ladies with most things but like you said Beverly you age has got nothing to do with your ability to have a baby you are 38 weeks and that is eveidence that you can do this. You Dr. sounds a little more than unhelpful and you are well within your rights to look for another doctor.This is a big event in your life and it is not fair to have itruined by anyone especially your doctor - is she goign to be at the birth?? I would be very concerned if she was.
I think it's dicgusting how people can be so patronising to someone just ebcause they are younger. I am 29 by the way with my first and I have not experienced anything along the lines of what you are enduring so I think you are definately right.
It's good that your MIL is goign with you but how bad is it that she has to fight for you instead of the Dr. just giving you the proper treatment int he first place.
Let us know how you go ok. ↑ |
