I definitely second (third, whatever) the advice to look into a midwife. My midwife visits felt very different and better (for me) than my doctor visits. Midwives tend to have time to really focus on you and your specific needs. At my appointments, I felt like all the important things were getting done, yet I felt very empowered and a part of the process, rather than having things "done to me." I really recommend you try it!
