Good OBs vs. The SOBs

Yes, another baby post....but I was reading a question on iVillage that got me thinking about a little situation I have with the OB practice I go to...

The lady on iVillage loves her dr., but he is in a group of OB's and one of the other drs. is a real prick - and she wants to know if there is anything she can do about it if that dr. is on call when she goes into labor.

That, friends, is a great question...as I am in the same boat. There are 6 OB's at my place. Two I LOVE LOVE LOVE....Two I like enough to be cool having deliver my babies...Two I wouldn't want to deliver my pizza.

Sadly, with both my kids, the same stone cold dr was on call. Both times, she came in at the last possible second - said nothing - I knew nothing about what was going on aside from hellish pain - my sweet baby popped out - and then she left - in silence.

If you know me, you know I don't need any coddling or ooshy-gooshy bonding with my dr. I need to know what's going on and I need to know they are there when I'm ready to get the kid out. Though now that I think about it, a smile and "congratulations" seem appropriate, too, for some one I am paying out the hoohaa (pun intended) to for their services....

So, now that I'm approaching Mr. Baby's big day, I am wondering....What can I do to eliminate the chance of having one of the SOB's ("Stone"-cold OB's) deliver my most-likely last baby?

I've always been scheduled to be induced...and went into labor early....so that doesn't seem to work....though I will try again...

I could find out who's on call when I go into labor and if it's one of them, start speaking in Spanish saying I have no OB....The resident has to be better than either of the SOBs.

I tried prayer with Joshua and God said "no"....though I am giving that another shot starting right now...

If anyone has any ideas, send them my way....Muchas Gracias por tu informacion!
