How should I use to choose my obstetrician?

Consider visiting several obstetricians and interviewing them before making a final decision. For example, you may want to ask each ob-gyn whether she routinely uses interventions such as IVs and continuous electronic fetal monitoring, how often and under what circumstances she would do an episiotomy, and when she thinks a cesarean section is warranted. You can't predict what your individual case will require, but you'll get an idea of the caregiver's outlook and practice patterns from her responses to these questions.

Bedside manner counts, too. Is the ob-gyn forthcoming with explanations and up to date in her thinking? Does she seem interested in you personally, or does she rarely look up from her charts? Does she seem like someone who will respect your wishes? You want a healthcare partner you feel comfortable with and can communicate with easily.
