The OB seems cool but is new to me. Office visits have been fine, bipolar doesn’t seem to phase him much.
The thing I’m worried about is for labor and delivery. You get whatever doctor in his group is on-call the night you go into labor. My doctor will have most of a year to get to know me and my husband. So if my doctor is on-call, I get to be an individual person, who my doctor kind of knows.
A random doctor will only know me from my chart. My chart says bipolar and maybe worse borderline. I’ve had care get worse under a different doctor before because of that. Normally you just go to a better doctor, but if you’re actively in labor you’re kinda stuck.
This is my third baby, but my first since being diagnosed. If something goes wrong, I’m worried they won’t put in quite as much effort to save my baby.
