I did actually call my own Ob in town here, even though she isn't legally allowed to see me after 12 weeks, she kindly called back and listened to my concerns (about the heart beating in my head etc and lack of any response from the registrar at the clinic) and she said I should go for a full range of blood work to make sure all is ok and that I am not anemic as it can result in that symptom. so i finally feel like someone is at least checking me to make sure it is just 'one of those pregnancy things', and that there isnt anything else wrong. If all is normal, well then at least I know not to worry.
Possums, I'm glad your old OB was able to suggest some tests etc and you finally feel as if someone is checking up on you. What a pity she can't keep seeing you.

As far as the OB in the other town goes, did you have your appointment and how did you feel? What are the bad things you've heard? I ask this because I recently met a pregnant woman who is having a Doctor I knew when I was pregnant with my daughter, as her OB. She thinks he is fantastic. When I had him I only went to one appointment because he was so rude to me when he found out I was single and then he was rough when he did an internal so I refused to see him again after that. I then paid to see a private OB who was very supportive and never did an internal (he told me in this day and age there is actually no reason to have to stick your hand inside!) I told her about the issues I had and she said she hasn't had any problems with him (mind you she is married so maybe he just has issues with single women becoming mothers).
Anyway I guess it shows that sometimes what is bad for one person might be good for someone else.
