Subject: Recommendation
Hi All,
I was wondering if anybody could recommend a Doctor who
is highly considerate of a mothers wishes. (I know what is going
through your minds after that one... hee hee.) I have spent much time
considering my available options (unfortunately home birth is not
financially one of them... maybe by the time we have our third they will
allow HB Midwives to be covered by insurance...)
I don't really want to leave everything to 'pot luck' and
hope that I manage to visit the right Doctor who will work WITH me instead
of for me. I was quite fortunate that the hospital (public) was so
busy on the day I delivered our first child - I had NO intervention, and was
told to 'listen to my body' when I was suddenly pushing...
When I mentioned to my GP that we would be trying and I
wanted to know if she knew anybody who had ideals aligned with my own, she
said that she could only go by her own experience and could only therefore
recommend her own OB so I would probably be better off talking to
friends. I decided this wouldn't help much as I only know two people
who have recently had babies and neither of them were happy with their
OB's.
So any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks and keep smiling!
Kirsty.
