Requesting a different doctor

So since 20 weeks pregnant. I've had to see a specialist consultant doctor due to our baby girl being small, every time we see her she comes up with a new issue that myself or the baby has. The first time it was that I may have preeclampsia, which I don't. During this first appointment she said she'd send a prescription of aspirin and book another appointment for in 2 weeks time, which she forgot all about until I called up two weeks later to see if I'd missed a letter about the appointment/ medicine. And the most recent time was this week when I went for a growth scan and she said my placenta wasn't working properly. This resulted into 3 gruelling days in hospital, being told my baby would most likely have to be delivered within the next few weeks, steroid injections and then being transferred to a bigger hospital who told me nothing was actually wrong. Today I went for a Doppler scan with a different sonographer and was told my placenta/ the blood flow to the placenta was completely fine. I have another appointment to see this 'doctor' on Wednesday but I don't know wether I want to see her because of everything she has got wrong before.. WIBU to ask for somebody else? I just can't justify being told something incorrect again and being admitted to hospital for nothing. It causes so much unnecessary stress and I just can't deal with it. Any advice/ has anyone gone through anything similar please?
