OB acting superior😒 Rant

Karla
So I saw an OB (from out of town) Thursday, for another opinion on whether a repeat c section or an attempt at VBAC would be safest for me and baby. As expected, he said c section would probably be the best because of the way my anatomy is and my small size. I expected that, and that was fine. I also expected it when he said an attempt at VBAC could be doable, but safest in a city hospital and not the one in the small town I live in. Perfectly fine with his expert opinion on that. What I wasn't ok with was him thinking he was superior. He went on to even suggest I travel 3 hours (completely medically unnecessarily) to his hospital to even have a c section because he's and OB "I've done 3000 c sections, this is what I do. The surgeon here is 'just a general surgeon'". The surgeon here did an amazing job of my first c section, and is actually known for his fantastic surgical work. I have complete faith in him. So that was my first put off. Thinking more now though, I was trying to tell him I know when I ovulate, and what side (I have split/double uterus). Yes he's an OB, had specializes in this stuff, but he's also a man, and has never experienced it. He tried to tell me I don't know when I ovulate or on what side and that its just not possible to
Know. Excuse me! It's MY body! I KNOW! It's like a bloody ping pong ball goes through there when I'm ovulating. It just really ticked me off that he tried to write off the surgeon here because it's a small town and he's "just a general surgeon", and that he seems to think he knows my body and what I feel better than I do. Also, I'm not going to travel an unnecessary 3 hours for a c section that could be done here just fine, and have to travel and other 3 hours back after major surgery, to appease this guy! Rant over lol.
