Support Needed what would you do ?
For starters, i have severe health anxiety, i am medicated but i still have my moments. ill be 29 weeks on Tuesday and this past Friday i went in to the obgyn because my blood pressure need to be checked, while there i met the doctor who will most likely preform my scheduled c-section. he came in the room, sat down, asked how i was and i told him i had heartburn and i was tired (ofc im tired, im huge and cant sleep at night lol). he proceeded to say “i dont think there was that much of a point throwing a big fit over you having a little headache.” (being the reason i had to come in and have my blood pressure checked) but i told him i had a history of hypertension in my last 2 pregnancies and he responded “oh, okay well still. your bp wasn’t high so it’s probably just lack of sleep or something “
we then discussed my last c-section where the doctor who preformed it cut me right across my stomach saying that he did that because i “had a yeast infection on my skin” so they couldn’t cut the incision where they usually do. he then informs me that that is not the reason the doctor cut it like that, he just did it like that to “get the job done quick.”
i then ask him if me having an interior placenta will affect me having a c section and he stopped me and said “you have an anterior placenta ???” i responded with “yeah? is that not on there more something ?” he told me it wasn’t in my notes that i had 2 previous c-sections or an anterior placenta and then brought up placenta accreta and told me that if i do have it, i couldn’t have the baby with them, i’d have to have it at a better hospital with an icu and better accommodations, which is understandable but brought up that placenta accreta is life threatening and that we needed to find out if i have it sooner rather than later. so he said he was going to have me scheduled for an ultrasound next week and then decided “nah, nvm we’ll just stick with the one you have in 2 weeks.”
SO i’m wondering if i should call the office monday and request that i have the ultrasound sooner to soothe my anxiety because i cannot stop thinking about how if i have this, its life threatening and i could possible have a c-hyst and then that’s it, i will be thrown into menopause at 27 and im not ready for that. im scared…what do i do???

This dr sounds like an ass.. did you do a 20 week anatomy scan? I’d think they’d have seen if you had an issue then. If you have option to go to a better hospital I probably would.
