I don’t like my OB/GYN

I found an OB/GYN based on Google reviews and it also happened to be that she is one of the doctors that serves at the closest hospital to me.
We’ve met her in person twice now, and both times my husband was with me. It feels like she’s just checking a box, has a fake chirpy voice and she barely looks at us when she talks to us. She mainly talks to me, and even after I introduced my husband, she just said a generic hello, with same fake chirpy voice.
I don’t appreciate anyone treating my husband or me poorly and I don’t know her whole demeanour is just unkind and it makes me uneasy.

I don’t know what to do next. This is the closest hospital to me, and so no matter what, I feel like there’s a high likelihood I will encounter her even if I try to change providers.

Do you know if it’s possible to switch hospitals? There’s another one a little further away, and when looking up some of the doctors had pretty good ratings.

I’m 17w and thanking God that everything is normal so far, so I’m also thinking of options such as midwifery.

Identify an OB at another hospital, go back to your family doc and ask to be referred to that OB. It won’t be a big deal. I did it after my first appointment at 20 weeks, the first OB I went to was awful.

Thanks Leigh.
I did just that, and happy that I got in with the doctor we were keen on.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.
