Dr is leaving town!!!

[Mommy0922]

Ok I am beyond mad right now. I'm 38w2d and my Dr decides to tell me she will be out of town until the 24th. WTF!!!! I have not cared for her fora while now. PPretty much ever since she told me she thinks there is some sort of "3rd baby curse" where women who have had 2 easy deliveries (like me) end up having c sections. No one I have asked has had this happen.  Ugh I amso hoping to go into labor while shshe's gone just so I can be done with her!

At my drs office I had to see all of the drs just in case my main one wasnt available.

I was induced with my first and my doc was there from 9am to after 345am when I delivered and saw him again at 9am the next day and THEN I found out he has 4 young  boys at home I felt horrible!  I was like leave go see ur family!  I doubt I was his only patient that night but they have lives too but ur doc sounds a lil out there anywaz hope u have a easy 3rd!

Yeah the last poster is right Drs need vacations too and no matter when it is it's going to be inconvenient to someone. Mine is on vacation right now. I was pretty upset bc I only have a month left and we are supposed to be monitoring baby's size to decide if I can have natural or if Csection will be safest. I've made my peace with it though and decided Csection it was only a tiny chance i could natural anyhow. And it turns out I like the other dr in the office even better anyhow lol.

Well I mean, they have lives too. As inconvienient as it is for us...we can't really expect them not to go about their business just because we're close to delivering. Im willing to bet youre not the only full term one thats pissed off about it. Its stressful for sure but its kinda an "whatre you gonna do" situation...
The rest of your reasons not to care for her are pretty good though. Thats a very discouraging thing to say to a patient! And not even kinda true!

If drs never left town cuz someone was close to delivering theyd never leave town...sorry its happening though

Im 34 weeks and my dr is going out of town to I want see him until 3 more weeks. So he gave me the date for my schedule c-section which is a date I didn't agree with i wanted 4-14-14 she said he was booked I told her I don't care about him being booked because I want see him for another 3 weeks when it should be 1 I compromised so should he so he got me in but im still upset because why he haveto go out of town when im so far along lol

I know 4 women who had 3 + natural births with no section... some drs are a little crazy. I'm sorry you're having a hard time with yours
