I would switch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ob-situation#post-1421821 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:37:47 +0000 SweetMamaM 1421821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, what an obnoxious a-hole! An hour to dilate to 10? That's enough to freak a lot of mamas out and freeze their labours. Is he the only alternate to awesome guy? If he is, I would definitely start looking. Horrible back-ups were part of the reason I changed midwives at the end of the first trimester and I have no regrets about doing so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ob-situation#post-1421585 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:17:49 +0000 Boogs 1421585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, I would do whatever I could to avoid c/s guy. </p> <p>I had a horrible nurse the night before I delivered and I swear her lack of care is what led to my getting a c/s. I was progressing wonderfully, then she came in, did a check and shook her head and said my baby had too big of a head. She didn't listen when I repeatedly told her my epidural wasn't working. There were a few other things also, like the staff the next morning not understanding why she hasn't done certain things. I learned the hard way, but we should have been much more vocal to someone above her sooner.</p> <p>You don't want to find yourself in a situation you don't need to be in, so maybe you can ask around a find someone (and their backup) that makes you more comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ob-situation#post-1421381 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 16:29:26 +0000 snowjewelz 1421381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there anyone else that can be a backup at the practice? Do you have local mommy friends that would recommend their OB? I def wouldn't want to risk getting stuck with c-section guy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ob-situation#post-1421294 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 16:10:55 +0000 mrsjyw 1421294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My original OB was MEH throughout my entire pregnancy. But I was too lazy and didn't really care about switching since I just don't have any preference or attachments to docs in general.</p> <p>He totally overwhelmed me during labor when he came in for the first check in (I was at 9cm) and told me that he was going to csection if I didn't progress in an hour to ten. Thankfully, his partner delivered DS because he was caught in a scheduled csection (GO FIGURE) and I've seen his partner every since.</p> <p>I really like my new ob and just had my one year check with him and am starting to plan for the journey to TTC #2. My fear is that if my OB is caught up, then my old OB would have to part of my delivery! </p> <p>Should I research OBs outside of the practice, or just hope that I won't get stuck with csection man? </p>
