Unhappy

What should I do??


I just got back from my doctors appointment. Everytime I go there and I see one of the "doctors" I feel like shit. I feel so uncomfortable around both of them. I feel like they "hate" me. I feel like Im making a mistake having them as my OBGYN. They told me I gained 15 lbs in 4 weeks, OKay I know and Im depressed about it, but HELP me, They never told me what to eat I feel so f***in lost with this pregnancy. I had my 20 week scan. Did they mention it to me? NO glad I f**king work where I had them done or else I would have no clue if my baby was okay. So what do I DO? Should I try to switch to a midwife but will anyone see me at 24 weeks . Im so depressed, crying everything. Doesnt help my husband has been working down south for 1 month. Sigh. I just feel so alone. My gut says Im making a mistake having them as a doctor but Im scared. I wish I would of done what I wanted and traveled down the home birth plan....but NO My mother and husband said it was to dangerous... thats nice but I feel like Im going through this all by myself sometimes. Looks like I might be "husband free" intill Feb. Maybe thats why Im freaking out.

First of all . If your doc is making you feel awful like that I would definietly switch. NOONE has the right to make you feel like that, let alone your doctor!

I'd say find someone who is more caring and sympathetic. Maybe a midwife is a good way to go.

You should find someone else. I am using a midwife, and I am so much happier than I know I would have been with an OB. My midwife is a bit of a nut, but she is very caring, and I totally trust her with my body and my baby. Each appointment is at least an hour, and she looks after my total health, physical, mental and emotional. My advice would be to call around and speak to any midwives or birthing centers in your area.

Aww, Van.. so sorry to hear that your doctor's are dipsticks! Definitely switch, girl. Nobody should make you feel bad about who you are and nobody should ever make you feel as though they "hate" you. Look into the midwife thing, you may still be able to find one-- I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. I'm not all too familiar with midwives though as they don't have them in my region. If not, just switch doctors, there's nothing wrong with that.

Keep your chin up girl.. don't let idiots get you down! Hope your husband won't be gone too long

I would call around and see if you can find someone, those doctors sound very unhelpful. I hope you find someone!

I would think if you are not high risk, someone would pick you up. You have to be comfortable with your doctor. This is the person you have to deal with when you are the most vulnerable and in the hardest position.
