Second Opinion/ New OB?
My first son was stillborn at 37w3d. My second son failed a BPP ultrasound and was induced at 36w2d and born 36w3d. In my current pregnancy, I have gestational diabetes, my kid is measuring FIVE WEEKS ahead of a timeline they insist is accurate when I know it isn’t. (I was tracking my ovulation and planning for a girl. Also got a positive test at an impossibly early time for their timeline). My OB that delivered my boys (back in my hometown where we no longer live) insisted that I should never go past 37 weeks ever since the death of my first child. My current OB is ignoring every single concern, Every recommendation from my previous OB and showing 0 sense of urgency despite the every factor of my pregnancy so far. My daughter has failed every NST we’ve done and BARELY passed her BPP ultrasound we did yesterday after she failed yet another NST. Despite expressing my concerns about my daughter’s size and my medical history, my OB decided 39 weeks was fine. Then tells me she’s going to induce at 39-1. So then she admits my daughter is too big (ya know, like I fucking told her 6 weeks ago) and now a cesarean is necessary. On top of that, the OR is all nice and booked up so I’ll be lucky if I don’t go past 40 weeks before we happen to get booked. I am beyond extremely stressed. Should I seek a second opinion at another hospital or just sit around waiting for my current OB to get with the program and hope my daughter doesn’t die first?
