    For me i chose an OB mainly due to being in the IVF system for so long, (7 years) and felt comfortable with someone in that role taking the lead,

    I found it very helpful with my anixety and after so many losses the fact that i could send him an email and he would reply straight away and also being able to see him when i needed, somtimes my appointments were 3 weeks apart.(while i was bleeding from 4 weeks to 15 weeks) Hi mannor has helped me to feel a bit better about things.

    Now I am 25 weeks i look back and think gee ive spent a lot os cash! but as my friend said to me i may need his expertese towards the end of the pg again.

    I was happy to birth in a public hospital, and i have chosend a private hospital attached to a public as the public fecilities are usually better, with regards to special care ect. but i felt with this pg after so long i wanted someone i could call and they would be there to answer, and i wanted it to be the same person every time so i wasnt getting conflicting information

    my OB is also very pro natural del and VBAC also high risk
