Is it possible to find another Dr/MW? That's totally crappy of them. Yes, there CAN be extra risks cause you're older. But it's amazing how many women over 40 have perfectly, healthy, normal pregnancies/births.

I am 41, this is my fourth. My Dr/MW is so awesome! I wish all MW's were as cool as she. The office I go to has a male OB Dr and two midwives. All thru my pregnancy I will see each of them. And I can tell them who I want to be my 'main' caregiver. I saw the Dr for my first visit. And other than a small "you're over 35 and you might have a few extra risks" talk, he was so great!

I'm 43 and I have seen Dr. Grumpbump my pregnancy and he is totally negitive about my pregnancy. Gonna try to see a more positive doctor...

I am 44 and "fired" my Dr. Grump Bump!

I had 3 miscarriages in a two year period and he wouldn't even run any tests, just pretty much told me "what do you expect at your age?"

So, when this pregnancy went to 12 weeks and he was still so nasty, I requested to be sent to another doctor. It's a totally different story with my other doctor.
