One choice affects your whole birth experience

October 26, 2015 By Deena 2 Comments

There is one choice that affects your whole birth experience. It sets the tone for your prenatal visits and affects all further choices you have during pregnancy, labor and birth. Choosing your care provider is the most important choice you can make. Do you choose an Obstetrician, Family Practice physician, Maternal Fetal Medicine or a Midwife?

If you are unhappy with your care provider, remember, you can change providers at any point during your pregnancy.

    I’m glad that you mentioned that the choices you make about obstetrics and gynecology are big and effect the whole birth experience. My wife and I are preparing for our first child, and I think that choosing good doctors for my wife and the baby are huge for us. I really appreciated your graphic that you shared, and I think that it’s something that my wife would like too! I’m going to have to share your post with her, and hopefully we’ll be able to make the right choices for our obstetrics and gynecology doctors!
