[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard to tell without context, but it does sound like she was trying to scare you, which frankly IMO is a condescending way to approach warning a patient and probably says a lot about how she's going to treat you throughout the pregnancy. I[b] think the question you need to ask is, even if her warning was legit, do I want to continue being spoken to like I'm a moron, or do I want a provider who lays out facts without lecturing or talking down to me and then lets me make my own decisions?[/b] There are providers out there who do not behave that way and you still have plenty of time to switch.

Also, you may be "high risk" for contracting covid because pregnancy suppresses the body's immune responses, but the threat of covid, or even contracting covid, does not make your pregnancy a "high risk" one. I hope she was not saying it does, because that is blatantly false and makes me think she is setting you up for lots of micro-managing of your pregnancy and delivery that isn't evidence-based.[/quote]

All of this. And if you don’t connect with an OB, for whatever reason, that’s a good reason to switch. [/quote]

I totally agree. The rudest doctors are often the least competent. They are mean to hide their own lack of knowledge/laziness. Finding a good OB can take some trial and error.[/quote]
