PSA: Got a good tip to find a new OB today

Most of you know I'm moving. I went in for my annual exam today and told my OB that I was pregnant but we were moving again.

She advised me to figure out what hospital I'd like to deliver at, and then call the Labor and Delivery department around 8 or 9 at night and ask for recommendations from the nurses. She said they shouldn't be too busy around that time and they would have a good idea of which doctors were recommendation-worthy.

I thought that was a really good tip, so I just thought I'd pass it on!

    that is GREAT advice- My Labor nurse with wyatt was REALLY complimentary of my ob- she wouldn't stop talking about how great she was, and that she was glad she'd get to work with her that day, and I was lucky to be in her care....

    they are polar opposites, too- so I found it interesting that they both were so fond of one another. The nurse was SUPER right wing, and kept making "big gov't" comments while I was in labor ( the innaugural stuff was on tv.) Which I did NOT appreciate...And my doctor was singing the praises of Obama and it was just odd.

    I think that is some of the BEST advice I have ever heard as far as any of this business goes- you should post it all over!

    Can they recommend a particular doctor? I asked a friend of mine who is a OB nurse who she would recommend and she said she was only telling me as a friend not as a nurse. She told me that it was a doctor that she would use if she were pg, but as a nurse she was completely impartial. Weird. Maybe there was a different reason that she couldn't tell me.

    I don't know if they can or not. My OB seemed to think they could, but maybe she doesn't know. IDK.

    Sorry, I re-read my post and I sounded really negative. That is a great tip if it works! I was just speaking form my personal experiences. I hope that it works out for you.

    No worries, Kat! I guess if they can't tell me I'll just be calling and pestering them. :)

    Maybe I should come in with a plate of cookies or something and butter them up first.

    do you have any idea where you'd like to deliver? You'll have lots of good options being so close to Boston. :)
