Any mamas going thru the same?

I have had my ob since June and at first she was great but for the past couple weeks she has been very short on our appointments. She has shown up late which I could understand the first couple times but it has been a constant thing. I have voiced my concerns and she just brushes them off as normal pregnancy symptoms and when I brought up an issue today that I have had for almost a week she was like "well you don't have much time left so it's no big deal." I get they see a lot of us but the fact that some of us are first timers and don't know what is normal pregnancy and are brushed off is nuts. I feel like my care team don't care for me and my baby like they should and it seems like the nurses and mfms treat us better than our ob. I know it may seem bad to say but it's my opinion. I feel like a doctor who can be late to a appointment everytime and make an excuse of "new patients have a lot of question and it can take a while." I get that but why do they get x amount of time and you show up late and spend less than 10 minutes with me maybe and then leave. She asked me if i started my tea today and I told her I have been taking it like she said I could for over a week and she looked at me and my husband weird and was like "Trying to speed up labor or are you trying to go into labor?" Like I get that's a valid question but wouldn't they know raspberry tea doesn't cause labor it just shortens it. I know it's a lot but I feel like I have to let it out somehow. Sorry mamas. Rant over.

Show your support

I dislike my OB so much as well. The clinic I went to is amazing, they do all the prenatal care until 32 weeks and then send you to an OB for the hospital of your choice. They only had one female OB so I was stuck with her as my only choice. I love love the clinic I went too, and would go back again with another baby, I hope they have a new female OB next time. This OB Im seeing doesn't even knock on the door, just bursts right in, spends less than 3 minutes in the room, has zero interest of my concerns or if I even have any, she doesn't ask if I have any questions until she's opened the door and is literally hanging half out of it ready to leave lol, also frustrating. Im sorry you aren't feeling the support and care you deserve from your provider! Best wishes for a safe, quick, and happy delivery for you and your baby!

@Zoe I'm sorry ur going thru the same. I know it's gonna sound wrong but I'm hoping he gets here while she is gone on vacation

GIRL ME TOO lol. Like she's only going to be there to catch him a minute before he comes out anyways right? The nurses are the ones there before, during and after the labor, hopefully I get a couple with a genuine kind demeanor bc I am truly terrified of child birth lol

@Zoe lol same but I got a good l&d team and a good np that's on call so I should be set. Plus I'm going unmedicated so

you're braver than me! i have zero intentions of going into this without an epidural. i wont know whose going to be apart of his birth til its happening, not a fan of male doctors so hopefully that can be avoided

@Zoe I'm trying to go as natural as can be but if I need meds I will use them. i understand how it is with preferences
