I don't like my new dr as much but am very happy to be delivering at the hospital I am at. My cousin who is a dr was telling me it was better to deliver at a hospital that you were comfortable at because the doc will litterally only be there at the end to catch the baby or do a c-section. The rest of the time it's the hospital staff that assists you. </p> <p>If you end up switching I would do it soon as many doctors will only take a new patient if they are 18 weeks or below. I had two dr's declining taking me because I was too far along.</p> <p>Goodluck :)<br /> Ps. Can't wait to find out if your team blue or pink! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-6#post-198484 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 21:14:10 +0000 mrsjyw 198484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: it could be or the other dr delivering, so i'm leaning towards staying... i actually switched from my old ob because of the hosp location and based on a friend's referral! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-6#post-198476 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 21:12:06 +0000 MamaMoose 198476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well often times you never know which doc in your practice will deliver you. Maybe when you schedule your next appt you could request to see the other doctor (say you'd like the opportunity to meet him so you are comfortable if he ends up delivering you). Then if you like him better maybe you could switch to him? Just for convenience I probably wouldn't want to change practices at this point unless I had a major issue or felt I wasn't getting adequate care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-6#post-198471 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 21:10:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 198471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>is he the one delivering you?</p> <p>my doctor didn't deliver me for charlie or olive so i might stay because it is hard to find a doc that will take you mid pregnancy.</p> <p>was he your regular ob/gyn before getting pregnant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-6#post-198466 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 21:08:57 +0000 mrsjyw 198466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't hate my dr, but don't love him either. He's not very personable and I've only seen him a hand full of times since my checkups are monthly right now.</p> <p>I love the hospital and haven't had a chance to see the other OB at the practice... I'm almost halfway; I think I'm too lazy to switch and am hoping I like him more at my next appointment. </p>
