[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i would wait till i get a positive home pregnancy test (or the one with the RE - aren't you supposed to be with them till 8 weeks or so) to schedule an appointment with obgyn. i seen no point whatsoever in preconception appointment and most of them will think you are crazy for doing it, if they even agree to do schedule it. you need to understand that your preconception appointment happens 10 minutes after they just delivered twin via emergency c section and before they are going to deliver additional baby or two. they have multiple mothers who just delivered resting in their rooms, and yes, at that moment, they all matter more than you do.

that said, i recommend virginia physicians for women (dr elliott). i was ama, overweight with IUI conceived baby and they accepted me mid-pregnancy with no issues (i moved from another city). they are very experienced and know what they are doing (they are at VHC). you will be seeing all 4 doctors during your pregnancy and they have different personalities. a one or two might tell you too keep your weight in check.[/quote]

You clearly don’t understand how OBs work. They don’t go from L and D to outpatient visits and then back. They don’t delivery babies in between seeing patients there for annuals, paps, UTIs, preconception visits, or pregnant women there for their x week check up. A preconception appointment is not something they will think you are crazy for - it’s a billable medical visit and it’s a good idea for anyone who is expecting to discuss individual health conditions, risks, etc. and also to establish care with a new OB.

my obgyn work exactly as i described (they are literally next door to l&d) and those are the ones I am recommending. [/quote]

Absolutely no OB does this. You don't see patients while you're ON CALL for births. That is insane. [/quote]

Yep I’m the PP and this make zero sense. In this situation, women getting an annual exam would have to be admitted to the hospital and would be taking up a L and D room? I have NEVER heard of anything like this. Unless the PP is in a totally remote area with a tiny rural access hospital or something similar to that  I think she is misinformed. [/quote]

huh, what are you prattling about? i am talking about a practice that has VHC privileges in arlington. i gave the name of the practice which is often recommended on this board. their office is next door to the hospital, like, the door to L&D is 20 feet away but no, women getting annual exams are not admitted to L&D, idiot. the office building is attached to the hospital. i had a doctor tell me they had an emergency delivery which is why they were running late. they deliver tons of babies.

maybe you want a doctor who will hold your hand during the "preconception visit"  :?: . personally i prefer doctors who deliver several babies every day, they have seen everything.[/quote]
