windchime`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll Question about medical groups and on-call docs: When you finally delivered your baby, did you know the doctor who ended up doing the delivery? I`m worried that I might end up with someone I`ve never met. If that happened to you, plz comment on how it went for you. Were you totally uncomfortable, or did it not even matter?
(Other poll by windchime, 1393 days ago)
I had been seen by the delivering doc several times.
I had been seen by the doc once or twice.
It was a totally new doc.

I had never met the doctor but it didn`t matter. Hardly saw her anyway. She showed up once during labour and right after birth because there were no complications. I hadn`t met my midwife either, but she was wonderful - usually they are!! I wouldn`t worry!

You will just be glad someone is there! I had a never seen before guy...actually wished he had been my OB... he was an older guy sadly retired now so I can`t have him this time either! Just expect either could happen and try and relax... it will the last thing on your mind when the finale comes! Focus on seeing that little sweet face... that is all that matters!

I never met my doctor before and I didn`t spend much time with her before the delivery. The nurses helped me during everything leading up to the labor, then the doctor came in for about 5 minutes to deliver. It didn`t bother me one bit. You will be so nervous and anxious you won`t even notice anyone is there.

Hi please dont worry about this, I did but believe me when you are in labour that is the last thing that will be on your mind. No-one really tells you how labour is for fear of worrying you, but its a very intense experience and as long as you have your birthing partner with you that`s all you`ll even notice trust me

I delivered in a birthing center by choice and never meet my midwife before delivery. I met my nurse and she was really who I saw all day and leaned on during labor. When it came time to deliver I didn`t care who was taking this baby out, just get her out. I had peace of mind knowing that many doctors were just down the hall if something were to happen.

My labors were too quick for my dr to make it on time, except my last one since she was in the hospital at the time. They are really only there to `catch` the baby and check them afterwards, it`s the nurse assigned to you that you spend the most time with.

I didn`t know the doc that delivered my baby either. My regular doctor was in the room, but he just assisted. It didn`t really matter to me though, as long she was coming out! haha...at the time it didn`t cross my mind, but I know my doctors now will deliver my baby because there are 4 and I will have seen all of them.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
