my OB has been my security blanket. Being 41 and having my first baby, i really did not have any idea as to what would lie ahead for me and what "specialist" care i would need. So for me, an OB was my only option.

I have seen him since week 6 and will continue to do so throughout my pregnancy, when he delivers our baby and for my 6 week visit after baby is born.

I have been very fortunate to have had a great pregnancy so far, but what if i didnt, i really could not have coped with looking for "specialist" care when i was at crisis time, i would prefer to be pre-prepared.

My OB was a great help for me emotionally for when i had my CVS too.

Everyones circumstances are different but there are times when choosing an OB is the 1st choice.
