I have been seeing him just 'cause my insurance won't cover my midwife anymore, but I am sick of sitting in his office for an hour after my appointment time before I see anyone. It has happened every time. I also don't appreciate being patronized about tests that I flat-out refuse to take. They treat me like I don't know anything. I am switching over to my midwife's care in 2 months, anyway, so I have decided to quit seeing him. I figure, my 4th time around I know what's going on enough to go it alone for a couple months.

Good for you, mama - and your baby! You deserve to be treated with respect and love, no matter what your pg and birthing choices.

Right on! Trust your instinct, Mama. Best to you during your pg.

Why do they always think they're the boss of you anyway?!

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!

And write him a letter exactly why you're leaving his care. They need to know if they're gonna improve right?

that's great mama

I remember seeing my OB with my 1st pregnancy and waiting in the waiting room FOREVER just to see her for 5 minutes.. I HATED it! She wasn't very personable and rushed through everything.

With my last pregnancy I saw a wonderful midwife I remember one of the first appointments lasted for like 45+ minutes (just talking and hanging out). DH and I walked out of there like 'WE LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HER'

That's my experience too. I saw an OB with my 1st dd, and wound up with a c-section and feeling completley helpless. I wanted empowerment, and sought it from a midwife. I LOVE her, and every time I go to see her we get to visit for as long as we like, unless she's running behind, and even then she'll say, "oh, so-and-so is waiting" so we'll go to the waiting room and continue our conversation with so-and-so joining in. I went to her yesterday and she was so happy to see me she promised not to charge me for the prenatal visits!
