Those who were on hospital bedrest...

Who handled/managed your care? Was your OB involved or was it more residents and hospitalists?

We are almost certain we will be transferring care to a different hospital and our OB doesn't practice there...so I am just trying to figure out if I need to find an OB that does have privledges (which I assume I do) or will they assign us to someone...

We have an appt with the Center for Fetal Care and the Peri at the new hospital tomorrow.

We were kind of in a unique situation in that we were 7 hours from home when I was admitted to the hospital. So I was of course, assigned an OB and eventually a Peri. If you are transferring to a different hospital for inpatient care I would assume they would assign you a doc unless you had already researched and had a prefrence.

I had to be transferred to a hospital where my OB didn't have privileges. From that point on, she was out of the picture. They just assigned me to a high risk OB at that hospital and then a parade of people marched in and out of my room every day I was on bedrest (different residents, interns, nurse practitioners, students, etc.). I didn't know who would be delivering my baby-- it all depended on who was on duty at the time.

My OB/GYN is in a group practice in the building next door to the hospital I was in, and my Peri was in a group practice whose office was actually in the hospital I was in. I saw someone from my OB's practice every day, and someone from my Peri's practice every day. If at all possible, final decisions regarding my care were made by my OB herself.

My OB or his midwife was responsible for my care, the nurses did their thing as per the OB's orders. He was there every day excepting one weekend when he was out of town and another OB covered for him.

I was sent from the hospital I my ob has privileges at ton the one I eventually delivered at. I was lucky that my ob knew one of the mfms so I was assigned to him and he kept my ob in the loop although he made my care decisions. Good luck with your decision and GED rest, it's tough but even if it buys you a day it's worth it!

I went to the ER in labor at the hospital my OB has privileges at and when the only thing that would stop my contractions was mag sulfate i was transfered to a hospital in a different town because it has a NICU. That is when the care with my OB ended until my check-ups after delivery. I spent 3days in the hospital on bed rest before she was born and i was in the care of the OB and peri that were on call at that hospital when i arrived there.

I was transferred to the nearest hospital that had a Neonatal Unit, which was about 65 miles away. My OB transferred me there and once I got there I was assigned a Perinatologist. I did see a few residents while I was there though, and they were all great!

It was my OB and his practice that handled my care.

I was on 26 days of hospital bedrest (followed by 10 days at home before rushing back to hospital). There are 3 docs in my OB practice and one of them checked on me every morning, They made the decisions for me and consulted with the peri on many occassions. Sometimes on the weekend there would be another doctor if mine were not on call. I also had a resident that checked on me daily at the crack of dawn.

Someone from my OB's office came and saw me every day-sometimes more than once. Someone from the high risk OB's office came just about every day. There were a ton of nurses in and out. Ultimately, an OB from my OB's office delivered her.
