[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- yes I have called my dr officeand asked to speak to the doctor about this. My dr had casually mentioned it at the last appointment but it wasn't until the office called to schedule it and i asked the reason - to which they replied ' the baby is small'- and I told them I didn't understand since I've been repeatedly assured there is no growth restriction- still waiting for a call back. Sigh- so frustrating.[/quote]

Okay, wow, in this case, I'd be FURIOUS. Your OB mentions it casually but does not discuss it with you fully and make sure you have no questions before having his staff call to schedule an induction? I would insist on a discussion with the doctor. And frankly I would not want to do it over the phone.

I hope he isn't like this routinely. Good luck to you. :([/quote]

That's completely outrageous.  I definitely wouldn't agree to a date until I'd sat down and discussed this with my doctor in person.  Moreover, I wouldn't take "the baby is small" as a reason given how your OB's repeatedly emphasized to you that the baby's growth over time is fine, s/he is just measuring small.  Jeez.[/quote]

OP again- yup, I'm pretty mad. I have been super happy with my drs throughout and suspect it's a case of miscommunication and incompetent office staff because medically, the doctors have been super supportive of my wishes and wish my olderchild, caught a bunch of medical issues that would have been easy to miss. They are extremely careful and excellent doctors- I think it's the office staff that have no medical knowledge and potentially could be confused? I dunno- just waiting for someone to call me back. I called again today and was assured a doctor would speak with me as soon as possible. I also told them I would NOT under any circustances be induced before my due date unless there was a risk to the baby, in which case, somebody should explain that to me in detail.[/quote]
