I really think you should not change if you like that DR generally, but
you should goto an OB for your pregnancy. I would personally switch
even if I wasn't pregnant....I would not like to be given the run around
when I felt that horrible either! I have felt miserable the past few
weeks and my Dr always talks to me and gets back to me usually within
minutes of my call, so I would change were I you:)
