[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't posted on this thread before, but I delivered with Wisdom and had GD with my first.  They told me that as long as I could control my sugars with diet and exercise, I could stay with them.  I was told if I had to go on insulin, I would need to transfer to OB care.  I think that's reasonable.

That said, I had the misfortune of seeing Whitney the appointment when I received my GD diagnosis and she all but said it was my fault.  I followed the diet very closely and gained little weight in pregnancy (in fact my baby ended up being only just over 7 lbs even though I had GD and went 10 days past dates).  Some of the Wisdom midwives get that there are factors with GD beyond the woman's control, but Whitney doesn't.  This time I am going to be sure NOT to schedule my post-GD appointment with her.[/quote]

I haven't met with Whitney yet. She sounds like a nightmare. How often do you have to meet with her? When I scheduled my third appointment, Tiphanni said I had to schedule with her, so I guess I'll find out myself if she's as awful as she sounds in a few weeks. [/quote]

This is the PP you quoted.  I'm not sure there is a specific number of times, and now that there are 6 midwives you could probably legitimately see her maybe 2-3x.  I am currently in the same boat as you (told I had to see her at my 3rd appt), so I am curious to see if there are other times that I am going to be told I have to see her.  But right after the GD will be one of the times I try my damnedest to avoid her!

Honestly, she's not ALWAYS a nightmare, but she is much more ... dogmatic ... than the other midwives in the practice.[/quote]

I met with her recently (only my second midwife visit) and really liked her, but it is early yet. She didn't go crazy on the diet thing but I suppose if I develop issues like others here, she will. But I liked her much more than I expected to from reading the comments on this board. All that to say, if you want or have to meet with her, give her a chance at least.[/quote]

Seconded.  Her intensity clearly rubs lots of people the wrong way, and then they come on here and post.  Still, Sierra is my favorite.[/quote]
