I'm so disappointed in this office - they do not listen to their patients. Everything is 'by the books', and they are no help if you are experiencing anything adnormal.

First trimester was the normal morning sickness. By my second trimester, I had developed migranes that lasted for days on end. I was always told to take Tylenol or anti-nausea pills, even after I told them multiple times it had no affect. After weeks of dealing with migranes, I ended up in the ER after 48 hours of throwing up (including water), and it was the ER doctor that prescribed me something safe that worked within an hour of seeing me!

By my third trimester, I was having a lot of trouble breathing because the baby was so active. After weeks and multiple visits with Manch OB, I once again landed in the ER. After multiple tests, and waiting for 5 hours to end up with a 'anxiety' diagnoisis from the ER, it was my boyfriend that figured out the baby was causing ashma attacks. Not of course, after a second hefty ER bill and an additional bill from the OB office for the emergency visit they requested when I called.

I am now over 40 weeks pregnant. I have been experiencing extremely painful contractions for almost 2 weeks, but not dialing. Once again, Manch OB refuses to induce me (even through I've been told BY THEM on multiple occasions that it is very normal to be induced at this stage of pregnancy). I have left the office crying 3 times now, and all they can tell me is to 'hang in there' and 'you're doing great'. I'm still not guaranteed when I will finally be induced, and I'm worried about the stress this is causing myself and the baby.

Sorry for the lengthy read, but unfortunately this all needed to be said. I do not recommend this office, and I will not be returning once I am through with this pregnancy.

UPDATE: A few days after this review, I finally talked a doctor into setting an induction date (at 40 weeks, 6 days), but crazy enough my water broke on it's own after a second sweep of my membranes. I gave birth to a healthy 10 lb baby, and am now home from the hospital on maternity leave.

I just found out that my short-term disability paperwork (which can only be filled out by Manch OB) is going to take up to 7 business days to be completed. It then takes 2 business days to be faxed over and placed into the short-term system, and then another week after that to get payment to me. Basically, I'll be without pay for up to one month after giving birth.

And when I called back to plead my case as a single mother who needs to make her bills, the billing department told me they were short staffed and could do nothing to hep me...
