Should I find another Dr?

I am about 28 weeks pregnant with second child. The doctor (obgyn) I am seeing now is a new one. The problem is I don't feel very comfortable with my doc. He seems very uptight with no personality. I have not seen him smile once and that scares me. Makes feel like a number not a valued patient. Now call it strange but I just have this urge to find the doctor who delivered 1st baby and see her again because of this. I might need a c-section this time around too, ugh. Would you switch Dr this far into pregnancy?

Answer:
Heck yea I would !! Get on the phone tomorrow and start the process. Some insurance companies take a month or two to transfer the documentation and make the switch final. Don't hesitate any longer. Good luck with everything !!
Honey if you don't feel confortable w/ your doctor then I would find another doctor ASAP!! This is your life and your childs life in there hands and if you aren't confortable then you need to find someone that makes you feel confortable. Good LUCK!
If U can locate ur first Dr, may be u can go to her
It is really important to have a doctor that you are comfortable with. If this guy makes you uncomfortable, go ahead and look for someone else. The problem that you might run into is that an ob will generally take only so many patients on that are due in a certain month. This late in the game, you might have trouble finding a "good" doctor who isn't already all filled up. But the least you can do is try... Your best bet would definitely be to try to get in with the same doc u had last time. If that doesn't work out though, see if you can make an appointment just to meet the doctor and ask about the important issues that you have and what their views are (such as inducing, c-section, episiotomy) etc. This way you get a feel for whether or not you like them before deciding to leave your current doc.
if you don't feel comfortable with the doctor you have now then definently switch, it's not to late!
It's never to late to find another doctor. Just have your records transfered to your new doctor so that they know what has happened throughout this pregnancy. If you are uncomfortable with this doctor it will make your labor harder. Labor is hard enough, you don't want someone who will make you more uncomfortable. Good luck and I hope you and your baby do great.
I would switch ASAP. If you're too far along, it might be harder to find a new doctor but you should be comfortable with the one you have! You deserve it, after all this person will be bringing your child into the world!
Absolutely. If you are uncomfortable with anything about your doctor switch imediately. You need to be at ease with your doctor. Especially since he/she's the one who you will be trusting to deliver you new little angel. I know how tough it is switching doctors from pregnancy to pregnancy. I've have 4 pregnancies and 4 obgyns lol. The first one was a d*** (and because it was my first and I was nieve about all things pregnancy related, I stayed with him through the whole pregnancy), the second disappeared off the face of the planet (When I went to go back for my thrid), the third stopped accepting my type of insurance just before I needed her for my 4th lol. So lots of luck.
