New Dr.?

Has anyone ever fired their OB ? When did you feel the need to? Did you find a new OB before letting your current one go ? If not how soon did you find one ?

Yes I fired mines when I told her I was doing a water birth. She had nothing but negative things to say ! And she even had a fit in front of staff at the front desk when she told them to print out my papers and not schedule a next appointment. She also put me on medication I didn’t need. I just couldn’t deal with her opinions. I switched over to a birthing center immediately where I’ll be doing a water birth. Everything is so smooth there no opinions they care about my feelings and opinions and it feels like home

Yes! at 25weeks, found another one the next week and they got me in right away! All i had to do was fax my medical records to the new one and they called me in for an appointment the next week.

If you feel like firing them, I know you got a good reason. I just switched practice at week 29, this time it wasn’t due to lack of satisfaction but wanting a place better suited for my needs. But I should have fired my last ob/gyns when I was pregnant last time. They are paid by us, not the other way around. I have some recommendations for good options if you need it. This time I did find the new one before stopping the existing one.

@Celinee can i ask the prices of a waterbirth?

@Celinee What birth center did you use?

@Noelle I’m not sure my insurance is paying for it entirely. I’m unemunemployed and have Medicaid through HRA nyc

@Kato I’m using the Brooklyn birthing center . They just moved to a brand new location

@Kato I believe there’s a birthing center in Manhattan and also one in Jersey. But I’ll look to make sure for the Manhattan one.

@Kato if you have insurance call them to see the water birthing centers they work with. But Manhattan has several I see on Google but one named NUMC birthing center

@Celinee Thanks! I will definitely check those out
