Not all OBs are evil! First appt. today! Yay!

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Just saw a few really awful posts about docs - yikes! :

So I wanted to share some good news too. Just had my first visit with my OB practice and they are soooo awesome! I'm so freakin' happy! :

When I mentioned that I wanted to try for a natural birth my doc says; "Oh, you might want to use a doula - we have some we can reccommend." Wow. The fact that a doc actually mentioned it and was positive about a doula!!??? Then she says that they can talk about classes like Bradley, etc once I decide on the hospital. (She said, "once YOU decide on the hospital," like - duh - of course, it's my decision. But still, most docs would not say that, right?)

Then I find out that they actually deliver at a hospital with a birth center - with birthing pools and the whole nine yards. Whoo-hoo!

I go in for a sonogram next week to make sure everything is progressing OK.

*happy dance*

Yay for good OBs. My OB is wonderful. I had to cancel my annual that was supposed to be today because of a conflict and was actually really, really bummed that I wasn't going to get to see her until August . Then I took a pregnancy test and now I get to see her sooner!

She's not exactly pro-natural birth, but she knows I'm a midwife and she gives me professional courtesy and respects my choices, which is all I ever ask for in any doctor...they don't have to AGREE with me, they just have to give me enough room to make my own decisions, ya know?!

I hope you have a GREAT birth with this OB practice...it sounds dreamy to me .
