OB or Midwife? Hospital or Birthing Center?

Choosing the Right Caregiver

By Jennifer Lacey

Pages:  1  2  3  4  5  

Maternal specialists will agree that they want to make sure each woman is an informed and satisfied patient during her precious nine months of pregnancy. "I appreciate a patient with an interest in her health and who kindly tells me what is on her mind, even if she is unhappy with what is going on," Dr. Bartholomew says. "Doctors are people, too, and we want you to be informed. You must have a sense of trust in your physician and be comfortable with the care plan."
