iād suggest going for the initial visit and see what vibe you get. if you feel this is someone you can work with for the next few months, then i think itās a good fit.
sue was recommended to me by someone in my motherās group. prior to that i had no idea who to choose and we went public with my ds so had no ob to go back to.
for me, it was important to have a female doctor managing my pregnancy not because i didnāt want a male doctor seeing my parts (because sue didnāt see my vagina until she gave me a pap smear 7 weeks after dd was born) but because i didnāt want a male doctor potentially making āmaleā comments and me getting upset and offended. i felt with a female doctor, any comments are made as a female and not subject to mansplaining. with ds, i had a male gp make a bit of an offhand comment i found dismissive when i was showing signs of anxiety. i didnāt want to be paying someone thousands to be making stupid comments.
