[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see some have recommended Bloom. I have really severe health anxiety, am currently 24 weeks pregnant and I go to Bloom. I do NOT recommend Bloom if you have anxiety. I have not felt that they have been understanding of my concerns at all, they've rushed me through every appointment, and have felt extremely dismissed. For my 12 week appt I didn't get to ask any questions because the doctor literally left the room without saying goodbye. They've also forgotten to call me with test results twice. I recently called the on-call doctor on a weekend because I had a severe stomach bug and he basically was like so what, and rushed me off the phone. If I have another baby, I'll be switching providers. [/quote]

Honest question: so why do you stay? If it's been happening since 12 weeks, shouldn't you be looking elsewhere? I say that because how you feel with/around your doctors matters!

Now to the OP, I would also suggest staying away from teaching hospitals and WHC (which is crazy). So that leaves Sibley? [/quote]

Because the devil you know is better than the devil you don't (not that I'm at all saying Bloom rises to the level of the devil- I'm not). Plus, I previously went to Foxhall and hated it there. And I want to deliver at Sibley.  Doesn't leave me with a lot of options. I've considered switching and have discussed it with my therapist, but she agrees that making a change mid-pregnancy would not be in my best interest. [/quote]
