I had the same pdoc for 15 years and, while pregnant, disagreed with something he was doing and telling me. It took much consideration but I decided to get a second opinion. As nerve wracking as it was, I scheduled and appointment with him just to let him know I was switching for at least the duration of the pregnancy. He hugged me and told me he really appreciated me telling him this and not just leaving and that he fully supported me. I was very relieved. I prefer my new pdoc (she is amazing) and I stayed with her but I still miss my old pdoc. I am not saying you should do this or even that your pdoc would respond the same way. I just want you to know you are not alone and it is ok to seek a second opinion if you feel the need.
