My wife had found out she was pregnant in December...

My wife had found out she was pregnant in December of 2018, and at the time did not have an OB. Frantically excited/nervous/overwhelmed we had found this OB and figured it would be a good one to try. We were able to get our first appt in January.

I must disclaim that my wife was a smoker (marijuana) until she found out she was pregnant and then immediately stopped smoking. This OB let us know about her THC levels being high in January and that there would be random drug tests and we understood that.

Fast forward to now, they made her take a drug test after her appointment last week, 2 months after her initial test showing her THC levels. when my wife is 4 months pregnant and after shelling out over $1,000 for visits to this OB, she was immediately discharged after there were still traces of THC showing on the drug test. My wife attempted to explain that she was a smoker before knowing she was pregnant and that she hasn t done anything since we found out we were pregnant, and the OB was unwilling to work with her.

So now at 17 weeks pregnant my wife has to find a new OB, without the help of the OB that discharged her. I have no problem with an OB discharging people for a drug (while I partically disagree with their views on THC) but for the OB to not then try to help them find another OB to accept the patient they re discharging when the patient is nearly halfway through their preganany is honestly very sad and unfortunate.

I would not recommend this OB to any woman who is pregnant and has a past issue with something this OB disagrees with (in this case THC) because this OB was unwilling to help my 17 week pregnant wife with a compromise to this issue to ensure her monitoring was uninterrupted during pregnancy.
