Has anyone switch OB/GYN during pregnancy?

Question

I found out the hospital that will deliver my baby is out-of-network with my insurance that my OB is affiliated to. Do you think it's a hassle to switch OB? I refuse to pay more than I have to. I've only seen her twice so far and I'm just 9 weeks along. I also signed a consent form for the delivery but that's not written on stone right until the services are performed? Pls help

Answer 1

About midway through my pregnancy i moved from Louisiana to New Hampshire. I was probably around 25 weeks when i finally saw an OB in NH. It really hasn't been that much of a hassle. All of my medical records were transferred without any problems.

If you're only in the first trimester i would definitely switch to save some money! You don't really see the OB that often in the first trimester and they'll be more than willing to fit you in whenever they can.

I switch my obgyn at about 12 weeks and played heck. The ob that I start with was great but there was some problems with my insurance as well. I Went to another ob that was affiliated with the same hospital as the other and because I had seen a doc already they treated me like crap. So I went to another doc that was with a totally different hospital ( the same hospital that I delivered my first baby at) an they had no problem with it. They just had the other doc fax over my folder and that was that. I am happy that I switched because the docs that I see now are all women and they understand child birth and what a pregnant women really goes through. Just call around and talk to a couple and go with the ones that you fell most comfortable with. If anyone gives you a hassle then just tell them that you haven't seen anyone yet. You are still early enough that there shouldn't be a problem. Good Luck and congratulations!!!!!!!!

i might circulate in and ask them the two various questions, yet once you already know Dr. G, then you definitely know their background. in case you do no longer know Dr. Z, locate out what style of ob/ gyn he's. I continuously decide to nicely known what share C-sections a doctor performs, in the event that they do epis, and how long they think of a classic exertions could desire to be. Ask this different medical expert what he does in an emergency problem. It appears like he's sturdy with that, yet beginning is a organic technique, so in case you think of he's going to do various interventions and you're no longer down with that, you have to be sure. There are some medical doctors obtainable who will very customarily do a C-section no remember if needed or no longer, and there are others who're knowledgable and know while the splendid time to intervene is for the protection of the mum. The C-section value is at 31. 8 %. i ended up with a C-section with my first Ob/gyn, and that i got here to be sure that he continuously in basic terms does C-sections if the ladies persons is in exertions over 10 hours, and then he calls if failure to progression. So, do in basic terms your examine and ask various questions.

Yes at 9 weeks you should be able to switch OB's. Just make sure you do it now. Many OB's refuse to take at patiant if they are already seeing a OB & over 20 weeks. So you have plenty of time.

Answer 5

Lil C! I did! A couple of times actually....in the end it all comes out the same I feel. Back in the days before we had Drs. women did it on their own anyway so don't sweat it! You are doing all the work they are just cutting the cord, unless you have a csection of course. Do what you feel is best! Don't pay extra just because of the hassle, you will regret it later!

I moved in the middle of my second pregnancy, so I had to. It really wasn't a big deal.

Go ahead and switch now that its early
