Hellobee Boards

like you i am not all that attached to my obgyn and would def at least browse the new home neighborhood for ones that i might better click with...

i chose my doctor/hosp because it's 5 min from our house (labor) and i have a flex job that allows me to wfh on dr appt days. so that was my key factor as far as prox to work or home.

however, previously my old obgyn (not pregnant) was only 5 min from work and was nice that i didnt have to take sick days for doc appts and could use my lunch hour without being noticed!

i can see it both ways; id just weigh out what's more important to you and then choose to find a new one or stick with your current!

My big focus is the hospital- I am very glad we picked one of the better hospitals with a good NICU, because we ended up using it. Much better than being transferred to another hospital.

Also shared rooms? No way for me, having a private room was key for me while sorting out breastfeeding and having a brand new crying baby. I can't imagine having another patient in the same room with all of our chaos!

i would stay. my obgyn is about 10 min from my work and 30 min from where i live. and its just so convenient for it to be close to work so i can just go really quick to the appt and come back to work. otherwise i'd have to take the morning or afternoon off. and also, the private suites sound nice! i def won't want to share a room during labor or during recovery! it'd be nice to have your own bathroom and everything.

I went with a hospital and practice that was 10 mins from my work for my first baby. All of my appts were early morning and I was at my desk by 9:30 or 10a every time. It was awesome. I was an hour from home and in the end it didn't matter as I didn't end up delivering at that hospital anyway. (A story for another time) Stay with who you are with is my advice.
