He listens, asks questions... I like him and he has a good reputation... but he said he'll listen to the heartbeat next time.. at 15 weeks? He is great to have given me medical leave as I am so dizzy and exhausted that I can't work... but he gave me Proazac cause he thinks I am despressed and that is why I sleep so much?
I like him, but sometimes I wonder if he is too casual about it all. I really like him, but is he good enough for my prenatal???

CHANGE DOCTORS NOW AND RUN. It is normal for you to be extremely sleepy until you are four months pregnant. Get a new doctor. You should not be taking prozac. He's a QUACK
I worked as a surgical Tech for many years B4 kids, I have worked with many doctors to know that there are some that don't have a clue if its not their specialty. Is he a OB? Go find a proper OB/Gyn that knows what he or she is doing!

doctors are supposed to listen for a heartbeat at every appointment. doctors are doctors still yes, but ob/gyn's specialize in prenatal. i would find an ob/gyn if i were you. also, some regular doctors will not deliver you if it is in the middle of the night or something, they have whomever the on-call ob/gyn is for that hospital.

If you don't feel 100% confident about the care you are getting and 100% happy with him, try getting some recommendations from friends and family and interview a couple of other caregivers. (When getting recommendations from others, always ask WHY they like their doc. The exact reason they love them could be a reason you'd want to run the other way.)

Personally I didn't like my family doctor trying to be my ob because they arent specifically trained for that. Thats why they are called general physicians. All doctors do their residency for what they want to practice. Would you want your Family Doctor to do heart surgery?

It sounds like you could and should do better. Go find a female ob/gyn and if you like him then go back to him after the baby's born.
