I really do not like my current OB. Unfortunately I don't really have any other options available based on my insurance and living in a rural area. I already have to drive an hour into see my current OB.

Today's appointment just cast some serious doubt that she will even be capable of safely delivering my baby. Even though I have preeclampsia, this OB wants to just move forward as if it were a normal pregnancy no additional monitoring or anything. Then when they checked my blood pressure at my appointment today they had my elbow above my head. Total dumbass move even first responders are trained not to do because you get completely bogus readings. The arm has to be at heart level and at a 90° angle for a sitting patient to get real readings.

And to top it all off, they cancelled my ultrasound last week. But at the appointment today, my OB tried to tell me that my placenta had moved away from the cervix and was in a good position and that baby's growth scans looked good with her growth rate leveling out to more average levels. I tried to say they had cancelled my ultrasound and couldn't possibly have any updates for this info since no ultrasound was even done, but she brushed me off and acted like I was lying. So freaking dumb! I even have the voicemail from her nurse last week saying the ultrasound was cancelled.

I honestly feel like I am 100% on my own to ensure I actually get appropriate medical care and intervention woth this OB. I am not at all confident that my child or I would not be in potentially life threatening harm by being under her care.

My first was an emergency delivery due to severe pre-eclampsia. If my OB from that pregnancy had not been so attentive and amazing at her job, I would have for sure lost my daughter and likely not made it myself.
