My sister in law gave birth with him. Her boy was a preemie, she ended up on a different hospital than she was supposed to go to because of the NICU there. She had so good experience she said she wouldn't go to the originally chosen hospital again even though she works there as a doctor.

Answer

Your family doctor will refer you to an obyn.   Why not look into a midwife?  I have one for this baby and wish I had one for my first child too.

Answer

I had a referral for a OBGYN that my insurance pays for, but I hated him. So I switched to the OBGYN that delivered me and i meet him for the first time Wednesday. All his staff are great though! Very friendly.

Answer

Referral from both of my coworkers.

Answer

We don't in the UK. We make an appointment with the midwife, they book you for your scan n make an appointment with the consultant. You just turn up when you're told! Lol

Answer

My mom actually found mine for me. My gynecologist before I got pregnant was a family friend and family doctor who I've been going to for any sickness since I was a kid, but she works in a small clinic and doesn't serve as a "pregnancy" doctor, so my mom found one for me a couple weeks after I got pregnant

Answer

I only recently moved to CA and not really knowing many people here I couldn't ask friends for recommendations. So I did some research into the local hospital systems and found one that has one of the lowest c-section rates in the area, a birth center in the hospital and a midwifery practice. Since those are all things I wanted, I chose that hospital and made an appointment w the midwives. Since they can't know ahead of time who will actually be on shift when you go into labor, they rotate your appointments so you meet a bunch of different midwives and so far I'm really comfortable w all of them.
