So I have been thinking a lot about choosing a doctor. Do I choose a small practice so that I more personal contact with the 1 doctor and nurse, but then take the chance of delivery being done by a doctor I don't know? Or do I choose a larger practice equipped with 4 doctors and 6 midwives and see many people throughout my pregnancy, but not as often and not form relationships as closely with them. The decision brought me to tears today because I want to make a choice that is going to allow me to cherish and enjoy the eight months.
Then another choice came up. Traditional visits for prenatal care, or a new approach called centering. I love this idea and think it would be something great for me, especially as a first time mom. The idea behind it is you have all your prenatal visits with the same group of women due in the same month as you. You spend the whole visit with him, discussing and sharing about pregnancy, along with midwives. I don't know yet if I am 100% sure if this is the thing for me, but I'm prayerfully considering it.
Here is a video about centering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VKjpzqJ3RIE&noredirect=1
