If you are really TRULY sure that you were not tense during the exam
(hormones, new obgyn, what not), I would seriously consider looking for
someone else. Can you get a recommendation from a recently pregnant
woman in your new town? In any case, I would mention your feelings to
the obgyn and see what he says. If he pledges to try and do better next
time, he's probably OK. If he blows it off, I would be apprehensive.
Just my $0.02,
