Choosing a Prenatal Care Provider
Your Physician
Choosing a physician is an important personal decision and getting proper prenatal care is the key to a healthy pregnancy and delivery. You probably have a vision of the birth experience you wish to have and you should find a provider who closely matches that vision. Here are a few questions that you can ask in order to help you make a more informed decision.
- At which hospital do you deliver babies?
- What type of health insurances do you accept?
- Will you or one of your associates deliver my baby?
- What is your philosophy on labor pain control?
- If I have a problem, whom should I call after hours?
- What obstetrical training have you had?
- How long have you been practicing?
- What are your hours?
- Where is your office(s) located?
- What is your practice philosophy?
