Find A Right Chicago OBGYN For Your Journey To Motherhood

Posted by northwesternobgyn on October 25th, 2013

Just the news of a baby coming to the world fills the atmosphere with so many thrills, anticipation and apprehensions .It is not only the most exhilarating but also most nerve time in a woman’s life. On one hand, you may be thrilled to be adding a bundle of joy to your family, on the other hand if you do not chose a good doctor you could feel like you are taking this trip into motherhood alone. Choosing the best Chicago obstetrician for prenatal care cannot be left on luck it requires a thorough research, because incapability of a healthcare provider can result into several mishaps, which could involve the mother, the child or both of them. An obstetrician needs to believe in some or the entire choices parents make along the way or at least support the choices of expecting parents. A communication gap between the pregnant woman and the doctor is far from desirable as a lack of communication, trust or positive connection between the pregnant woman and her doctor, will make the woman’s journey to motherhood pretty unpredictable. Such unpredictability at times leads to instability of the pregnant woman followed by fear, anxiety and stress. This is such a situation which no one would like to fall into as stress is something that needs to be avoided all through pregnancy  as recommended by doctors as well as elders.

You have the liberty to talk to the potential doctors and interview them, interviewing potential obstetricians does not necessarily mean parents are forced to choose that obstetrician. In general, the first prenatal appointment is not scheduled until the 10th week of pregnancy, or so. This gives the expecting couple a lot of time to interview potential caregivers. While hunting for a best Chicago OBGYN, there are some key factors to consider and questions to ask both the doctor and yourself.

Important Points to Consider
•  Location of the potential obstetrician’s office.
•  Working hours.
•  Number of patients.
•  Average waiting time for each patient.
•  Availability of emergency appointments.
•  Walk-in policies.

If you already have a gynecologist, you are probably in luck. A high percentage of all Chicago gynecologists also perform the services of an obstetrician. IT is important to understand that some gynecologists do not perform the services of obstetrician, because the malpractice insurance to be an obstetrician is very expensive and some doctors simply cannot afford it. If your doctor does handle birth cases, by all means keep your regular gynecologist. This is probably a person you have come to know and trust to help you make the right health decisions over the years. This doctor's services can make becoming a mother far less stressful. However, if you do not have a regular gynecologist whom you are supposed to visit yearly, then finding a Chicago OBGYN during your pregnancy becomes your first priority. Start your search by asking all the mommies in your life who they go to. Most likely there will be at least one whose doctor is taking new patients.
