He said I would not find anybody who'd take me on in the middle of pregnancy. I then interviewed a female ob/gyn. She seemed nice at first, but then she told me and my husband she'd only take me one because she knew no one else would under the circumstances. I bolted out of her office. At the end, I found a wonderful caring ob/gyn - after a couple more interviews. I still think of him fondly.Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-37208779795167110582011-05-28T03:57:11.432+02:002011-05-28T03:57:11.432+02:00Oh Dawn I am so proud of you, this is a difficult ...Oh Dawn I am so proud of you, this is a difficult to do but I know you are so relieved and happy with yourself!!!' enjoy the decisions you have made and acted on!

Guess she has some things to learn! Don't worry about what she was thinking - so what if she was thinking doubtfully?

So he said i was asking him to do it the harder way. and i said, yes, it might appear that way but i had my reasons and that i needed someone to work with ME. Well, after a half hour he said he had to go and would be back tomorrow and I realized this was going to drag out. And I just looked at him and said, 'this isn't working for me' and he got really bent about it. I just went in the house, gave him some cash and told him not to come back. evah!! that's my working line now, 'it's not working for me!!'Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317627113212677863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-35366905122503545442011-05-24T07:24:24.974+02:002011-05-24T07:24:24.974+02:00This is an essential part of growing up---learning...This is an essential part of growing up---learning to say NO to what does not protect you, honor you, respect you, and fill you with joy.

I can totally relate as it took me FAR too long to get to that point....good for you!!!<br />Love and Hugs, <br />Joannthe REAL girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274364426380668407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-35869611351392429342011-05-24T02:25:42.075+02:002011-05-24T02:25:42.075+02:00I remember my first "mama bear" experien...I remember my first "mama bear" experience, where I stood up for myself and for baby Noah.

We were in Italy and I was kind of at sea bu the final straw was when my doctor began looking through her diary to set a date for the caesarian section she was going to perform. No, not because it was medically necessary but because that suited her better given my due date and how that fitted with her annual beach holiday to Sardinia! And I agree with Kimberly's comment - it's you who gets to be grumpy, not her!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-27832175340001143552011-05-23T19:48:28.257+02:002011-05-23T19:48:28.257+02:00Woohoo!

There's no place for a grumpy doc in your pregnancy experience -- if anyone's going to be grumpy it should be you! ;) I understand the 'gardener thing' too - fired mine last summer (all by myself!)

I too would have kept going to that doctor and been miserable, until I stopped worrying about what other people think and imagining all sorts of negative things. Good for you for taking the high ground when speaking to the "grumpy" doctor and just telling her politely that you found a another doctor.<br />Sounds like you found yourself a really nice, fair guy to do garden work too! <br />Very happy for you!

I hate to hurt people's feelings or make them uncomfortable. But it's not really fair to end up dumping those feelings on ourselves right? Good for you! I'll have to remember your story the next time I feel the urge to keep my mouth shut when I should probably speak up instead.<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful day, Love.<br />B.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thatgirlinpearls.com/" rel="nofollow">That Girl in Pearls</a>That Girl in Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059985022007643037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-59505753230115807952011-05-23T17:06:30.763+02:002011-05-23T17:06:30.763+02:00Good for you for taking action.

When we hire someone and things don't work out, it is not personal, but a professional, business decision to look for someone else who will be a better "fit". So, congratulations for doing what you did and next time, it will be easier, I promise. Sending a big hug your way, Dawn!

I've...This really struck a chord with me, Dawn. I've always been one of those people who say 'yes' to everything & then feel cross with myself & resentful when I have way too much going on. Product of my childhood I guess!But I'm really learning & trying as i get older to take a deep breath & realise that it DOESN'T matter if not everyone in the world likes me - as long as those I care about do! It feels so good to take command of your destiny like this...so proud of you, sweetie. It's hard to do, but soon you'll be a mother and it's MUCH easier to do these things when you have someone so precious & dependent to think of. The doctor thing is especially brilliant...such an important few months for you and you need to feel relaxed, confident & calm...and on the same wavelength as your OB/GYN. Good for you!!! Love you dearly xoxoMozart's Girlhttp://www.mozartsgirl.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-4032491067955948452011-05-23T15:47:51.870+02:002011-05-23T15:47:51.870+02:00Those things did take courage and being in charge ...Those things did take courage and being in charge of yourself feels so good and right.PCovi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04908877691167450198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-79791163317141104302011-05-23T15:46:37.667+02:002011-05-23T15:46:37.667+02:00how inspiring this story is....it was a huge leap ...how inspiring this story is....it was a huge leap of faith for us to have a home birth...but well worth it - <br /><br />your choice to switch OB's right now was the right thing to do if you are un-happy- who needs that at this time right??Anne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570313791042086593noreply@blogger.com
