Switching doctors at 8 months pregnant!
So my ob has pissed me off for the final time! So at my 20 weeks appointment they found a spec on my baby girls heart ( concerned about downs) then while in that ultrasound her heart rate dropped and I had to be sent to a pediatric cardiologist he cleared me that everything was ok could be she was just laying on her umbilical cord. So I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant and had my check appointment and her heart rate dropped during Doppler listening. My doctor proceeds to say “did you notice it?” I said ummm yeah. So now as I begin to worry again about my baby’s heart she asked if I was finished at the high risk doctor I said yes he cleared me. She said “well when you come back in 2 weeks after your appointment we will send you to labor and delivery to be monitored for 15-20 min. What I wondering is why not today? I mean come one this isn’t the first time it’s happened nor did I waltz in there saying “I’ve been listening to her heart on Doppler and it’s still doing it” no she was able to hear it herself!!! So my doctor doesn’t answer any of my questions I leave worrying more than when I went in there and she has never once consulted me about my baby being ok. I just want some answers. So I switched to another local ob and I hoping he will meet my needs for my baby’s health! I’m so ready for this pregnancy to be over. I have literally stressed this entire pregnancy! Any opinions? Am I overreacting? I’m due Jan 17th 💗. This is my second child and last. The doctor that delivered my son retired ( I was upset about that) whom I loved dearly!! Someone reassure me my baby is going to be ok!? The hospital I would be delivering her at is in my hometown doesn’t have a children’s pediatric wing so I need to know Incase I need to deliver at a different hospital. Ugh I’m so stressed.
