stick to your guns, my girl, and kudos for you for going back and asking more questions! thumb your nose at that rude insensitive doc. vbac is possible as you well know! i went two weeks over with my vbac and delivered a healthy 8.5 pound baby at home you can and will too!
Holy crap Tan, what was that Dr thinking (oh right she obviously wasn't).
Can you request a different doctor??? I would definitely write a letter and complain about her. If she is this uncaring then maybe she is in the wrong profession.
I would go with whomever makes you feel comfortable and relaxed and supports your decisions. It sounds like your M/W's are doing that.
Don't let her take away your empowerment. The only time anyone has power over us is when we give it to them.
So glad I am seeing the midwife clinic. My last appointment I couldn't shut the women up LOL, She yakked about Isla's hair (or lack of LOL), her Dog, her vet appointment later that day. Just went on & on. BUT also asked how I was feeling, did I have any questions etc etc.
Can I ask why you don't see the OB again till 40 weeks? Thats 5 weeks away? Are you seeing someone else int eh mean time?
Leaving these thigns to be discussed at 40 weeks is cutting things a bit fine, especially if you think you will have a bit of a fight on your hands.
Im already being offered 2 weekly visits but declined to go another month seems im fine, bubs is fine & it is my 4th.
Thanks all!
FJ - I have been doing Team Midwife care and they are just gorgeous, because I am "high risk" (pffft) I see whichever idiot Dr (hehe) is on duty at the hospital on a Friday. So today was technically my 36 week check. 38 week check is with midwives again and when I see them I am going to ask who I will be seeing at my 40 week appointment and if it is Dr XYZ I am going to ask them to rebook me to see someone else. I thought I was on weekly checks from around 36/38 weeks with Izzy but TBH I don't really care because my doula is fabulous and I have been healthy for the whole pregnancy.
I would call and speak to whoever is in charge of her. Not sure if you remember when I went into hospital for a test and the Dr was a p!g!! I called and spoke to... umm..ahhh.. I forget but she was in charge of all the staff employed within that Imaging Group and she was lovely!! I just explained how hurt I was etc etc with the Dr's inconsiderate comments and she said she would have a chat with the Dr. Whether she did or not it made me feel better
Oh sweet heart I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. It just sucks. You handled the situation so beautifully we are all proud of you. Stick to your guns darl and talk to your midwives as they will be on your side and help you the best they can.
HUGE YAY ON LITTLE SPUNKIE BEING HEAD DOWN, YAY!!!!! VBAC here you come!!!
