I'm wondering if we've found the right doctor. Neither DH nor myself got warm fuzzies from the OB we met with for our preconception appointment. She was thorough and informative, but not terribly warm. Her nurse was abrupt and cold. It was not an entirely positive experience.
We found Doctor B through a local magazine who rated her as one of the top OB/GYN physicians in our area. She's got oodles of accolades and recognition under her belt. And she just happens to be well-regarded in DH's family, as we later found out. (DH's father worked with her in a business capacity, we learned almost by accident when we mentioned her name to him a few months ago. He thinks very highly of her.) DH's cousin and his wife used Doctor B when they had two of their three kids. She's got a fantastic reputation both within our family and within our community.
How come our experience in her office didn't quite leave me feeling great about her?
We later found out that she only works three days per week now, and she no longer does labor and delivery. So there is 0% chance she'll be in the delivery room with us, and getting an appointment with her already seems to take Herculean effort.
We've decided we'll go see her for our first appointment on 1/22, but we'll keep our minds open in case it's not the right fit. A friend has recommended her OB/GYN, she and her partner absolutely loved thier other doc. So it's nice to have another option.
I just wish I felt really settled and pleased with our choice in Doctor B. My gut isn't giving me the greatest feeling on this, but I'm hoping things will turn around on Visit #2. If they don't, DH and I are ready to explore our other options.
UGH.

Hello? Most intimate relationship you're going to have outside of DH. Trust me on this, find someone you feel good about, someone who is attentive and AVAILABLE, someone whose nurses aren't cold fish.
