Did you interview OBGYNS or just pick one based on a rec from a friend? If you did interview, what was important for you to know? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

The former. Not even a friend, but a practice used by a lot of the women at DH's firm (god, that sounds so like The Firm!). Wound up loving them and staying with them even after moving way downtown from them. [ Reply | More

Chose a midwife group reco'd by friends and delivering at the hospital I wanted. Then had health problems, need to deliver at different hospital, chose an OB who came highly reco'd by midwives. Then found out *that* OB delivered at the wrong hospital. Then found new OB through recos here that delivered at the right hospital. Then *that* OB quit 2 wks after I first saw her. Now I'm seeing someone else in her practice, who seems fine. I'm 32 wks and have no energy for this anymore. [ Reply | More
