I personally am happy with my ob. I've had to have two in this pregnancy and both have let me call the shots and feel like I have control over the experience.

I agree with Lulu about the bad generalization a lot of ob's get and I don't doubt it's because most women can vent on here where they normally could not and it is healthy to have a medium to express yourself. I think the difficulty arises when you feel negatively viewed for wanting and liking your ob. Everyone who has a good ob should be able to voice that without being slammed by others, the same as I would not judge a woman who feels comfortable with not having a professional involved.

Like others have said every doctor is different and some arent worth their qualifications, but for those of us who have found one we trust completely it's a good feeling, no doubt like a proud home birthing mamma who achieved all she wanted.

Personally I think everyone needs to respect and be happy for eachother, in how they choose to birth and support everyone's personal decision. We should be all on the same team

And hey it doesn't hurt to have something positive to say about a group of people occasionally


At the end of the day we all deserve to have a comfortable and happy birth!
