Cervical suture/stitch for incompetent cervix

[courtney]

Thanks Linda. I was wondering about Lionel Steinberg because he has such a good reputation for approaching things naturally, but then I want to balance my desire for a natural non-medicalized birth with the expert care that IC requires during pregnancy. It seems that some OBs don't care for IC themselves, but refer you to a high risk OB if that occurs, and I didn't know whether Lionel Steinberg fell into that category or not. One of the doctors I've spoken with seems to provide the expert pregnancy care combined with the focus on natural childbirth, but he seems always to be having a very busy day. I presume you're happy with Dr. Steinberg. Is he your doctor this time around as well (congratulations, BTW!)?

Hi Courtney, Yes I was completely happy with Lionel and we will be using him again for this pregnancy. Lionel is known to be pro natural but of course if there are any complications he is the man to look after your high risk pregnancy. I guess you have to make an appointment with him to make your own opinions though. I do warn you he is a little dry but he was always there to answer any of my insignificant questions and never made me feel embarrased. He would always call me back that day to reassure me that everything was fine. I went in for random heart beat checks and he was never fazed. We now have our beautiful boy. I hope that helps and I hope you find the right Dr to suit your needs.

Love Linda
