First baby & strange doctors?

Question

hey y'all!
this is my first baby and i'm super nervous about labor.. with my doctors office i'm having to rotate through all the doctors in order for all of them to know my case but i feel like none of them really care about me. see me as just another patient. i'm waiting for 30 minutes, they come and talk to me for 5 and then i leave..
what do i do???

Answer

Mine is the same way. I actually prefer that there is a group of doctors That I have had atleast an appointment with.  All of my doctors read my chart before coming in so they are familiar with my pregnancy and answer any questions I have.

I have a lot of friends with just 1 doctor. I would be so uncomfortable if my doctor is already in a labor when it is my time. I would get a doctor I have never met.   That scares me a bit. That is why I like having a group with back up doctors.

To each their own though, what floats my boat may sink yours.

Answer

I usually see my dr unless she's vacationing 😑. This time I have to see her associate and I'm having anxiety about it.

When I visit my dr, she comes in, we chat, Doppler, fundal height, and now cervical checks. About a 20-25min appt.

I have no idea who her associates are but the receptionist told me I should at least meet with each of them in case they have to deliver me 😒.

NEVERTHELESS, I still feel like I'm cheating on my dr😂😂😂

Answer

Mine are the same way.  I never really have any questions though (I read EVERYTHING LOL) and haven't had any complications so I wonder if that is why. Or the fact that I have declined most genetic and extra testing (we did anatomy scan but thr extras we have not done) so there isn't a lot to discuss other than baby seems to be doing fine with what info we do have. Bring in a list of things you want to discuss, maybe they don't know what you want to discuss.  That might help engage them.
