Hi, I am 9 weeks pregnant. I am looking for a good Kaiser OB in the Sacramento area, preferably 1011 Riverside or 1800 Eureka in Roseville. All of my non-kaiser pregnant coworkers said their OB would just ask them "When you are ready to stop working just let me know" and I was forced to keep working by my last Kaiser OB throughout my pregnancy despite almost passing out at work, having severe sciatica pain, dry heaving in front of my patients, nausea unrelieved by medications, etc. Even though I could barely function she insisted there was no "medical reason" I could go on leave. For this pregnancy I saw a young female american doctor that was supposed to be good, but she told me I had zero work restrictions for my subchorionic hematoma except pelvic rest. I ended up seeing a different OB for a follow up, a middle aged indian woman and she actually put me on a weight lifting restriction and other restrictions for work, my job refused to accommodate this, which caused me to have to take a leave of absence from work which I am thankful for because now I am so nauseous and vomiting to the point where I can barely even function to survive at home, much less be responsible for human lives at work. For context I am a nurse in a hospital, so I have to lift, clean various smells, work with infectious patients, etc.
I need an OB recommendation please, who will listen when I am too sick to work and put me on appropriate restrictions or a work leave when my body cannot do it any more, an OB who says "You let me know what you need and when you need it" instead of "it's not medically necessary" and force me to suffer.
My pregnancies tend to be high risk and I had losses, I feel like absolute shit in pregnancies and my body usually has something wrong that needs medical interventions. I really need an OB who is smart and good with high risk, and who will be willing to take me off work when I physically cannot handle it.
