We moved and so have a different OB than my first pregnancy. Current OB utilizes her MA way more than my prior OB, which is generally fine but has caused some issues lately. Trying to guage if my expectations are off: is it normal if u were waiting on some test results and when they came an appointment was scheduled only with the medical assistant who delivered the diagnosis of gestational hypertension and said you now needed to immediately schedule a 37 week induction and go on full bedrest?

Not normal in my experience either. I am very disappointed with my OB (much worse communication than I’ve had in the past, does not take my issues seriously, old fashioned in referrals to PT etc.), but I never got passed off to a medical assistant like that

My prior OB would NEVER have an MA deliver that news and lead the discussion about needing to go on bedrest and/or induce at 37 weeks, but trying to decide if I’m justified in being upset or if this is normal at other offices. For context, I did not get to speak to my doctor until my next appointment over a week later despite saying several times I had a lot of questions.
