I think I HATE my new Dr.

first off, I'm switching Dr's due to "in network" issues. The ones I first started going to got pulled from my insurance.

So my 1st appt was today and I'm 9 weeks. I expected to get an u/s to date the pregnancy and measurements etc. NO, instead he does an internal exam and lectures me on how unnecessary ultrasounds are for pregnancies which seem completely normal.

Because I voiced concern with his lack of wanting to do them, he goes and asks me if I want a script for PROZAC! What!? You MUST be kidding me cowboy, I already don't like you and you just went and made it worse! He said honestly that he'd write me one bc it doesn't affect the baby whatsoever and he thinks I need it because I seemed anxious. F U!!! Yeah I'm anxious bc I don't like the way you do things, backwards! He can't even work a computer so he had a technician/nurse come help him with inputting my information in his laptop. No wonder he doesn't like u/s machines huh? He calls himself old fashioned.

He gave in and checked for a HB and found it so we were able to hear the baby's HB at least.

He told me that he doesn't do scans and tests until 17 weeks or so. Isn't the NT scan supposed to be done at 12??

Thankfully I passed his very medical and genius physical exam, where he poked me with his fingers and felt around my pelvis. LOL All is fine he said and it seems right on track. Still though, 17 weeks for an NT Scan? Is that pushing it?

I don't know what to do. Being in such a crappy small town with NO choices and such bad options...I really want to switch to a Dr. who does scans when they're supposed to be done now days, not when we feels fit because he doesn't own the u/s machine.
What to do, what to do...
