I had an appointment with my OB today and I am not happy with how I was treated. I thought that maybe this appointment would be different since I had some very specific information and some very specific things happen that needed to be discussed with my doctor. I have been feeling like my doctor just doesn't listen to me. I thought because of the needs for this visit that it would be different. Instead, I left feeling unheard and like I hadn't really been communicated with. I come from a family with a variety of medical problems (many of which have a great affect on pregnancy), and have several myself. My husband comes from a family where everyone is in a different medical field, including my husband and myself. I'm not currently high risk in my pregnancy, but I know enough and have enough family history to know that things could very easily change. I feel like my doctor refuses to discuss things with me and address my concerns. He cuts me off before I can finish my questions and if he answers them he gives a simple blanket reply that has nothing to do with what I was trying to ask. I have felt that he is very competent, but just wasn't a fan of his "bedside manner". Now that there were real issues to discuss today about my baby and he didn't talk about them until I asked, I am very unhappy. He made such a big deal at my last visit over an issue with my baby (the issue I have had special tests done to check on and we were supposed to be discussing results today), and then he did not even talk about it! I'm familiar with the issue in medical terms and so is my husband and we were both anxious to know what the results were, so to have him just come in and breeze through things like it was just a "check in" upset me very much. He also didn't say anything about the results of my gestational diabetes tests. I'm just beside myself. I know "no news can be good news", but seriously! I am there for a specific purpose and I have to stop him before he left the room to ask about them is a little too much for my first time mom pregnancy hormones to handle! I keep trying to be patient and insistent in asking my questions and not leaving until I get answers, but I feel like nothing has changed with him.

Any advice?
