Here are some things to think about as you make that decision.
5 Steps To Choose An Ob/gyn
1. Ask Friends With Children About Their Ob/gyn, And İf They Liked Their Doctor
2. Request A Catalog From Your İnsurance Company That Will Have A List Of All Of The Doctors İn Your Area
Go through the catalog and see what OB/GYNs are near you. Distance is important because you'll want a short drive to get to your doctor's office when you are in labor.
3. Create A List Of Questions You Want To Ask A Potential Doctor
Some topics you should consider asking about include policies on epidurals and caesarian sections and monitoring of the baby with a fetal heart monitor.
4. Investigate The Hospital With Which The Ob/gyn İs Affiliated
While you may like the doctor, you might not like the hospital. This could factor into your decision on whether this is the OB/GYN you want to use.
5. Interview And Choose Your Ob/gyn
The best way to set up an interview is to call the doctor's office and explain to the receptionist what you're trying to do. Try to schedule a meeting with the doctor at her earliest convenience.
