I switched doctors in the second half of my pregnancy, strictly because my doctor did not deliver at the larger hospital close by and I didn’t want to chance being split from the babies if they needed any help after birth. My local hospital is a very small hospital.

I had heard such great things about this new doctor but it has been a NIGHTMARE. I’ve been told my whole pregnancy that they will NOT let me go past 38 weeks. It’s apparently the national standard in the US and the placenta starts to break down after 38 weeks with twins. Now all of a sudden their wording is “we probably won’t let you go past 38 weeks” like what??

I’m currently 36+5. I’ve been sent to triage 5 times for my blood pressure being high and they just send me home. I had an appt yesterday with my doctor and instead of answering any questions I had, he flittered off because he was so busy and told the nurse to tell me to go to triage again. I didn’t get ANY answers to my questions. The hospital asked me today if the doctors had discussed inducing me and I literally had to tell them that they haven’t discussed anything with me at all!!

Had anyone else had this issue? If you made it past 35 weeks, did they ever give you a date you’d be induced by? Did they even mention it to you?? Or those of you who were induced, when did you receive your date??

I don’t see the doctor again until Wednesday. I’ll be 37+4 by then. I’m frustrated, and completely miserable. I’ve been having contractions for two weeks and I feel like the doctors at my office or the hospital just don’t care.
