[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with 20:50.  We had about 8 OB's in our practice, so I cycled through them all for at least one appointment.  On "game day", I was in labor/delivery for about 24 hours and had 3 on-call doctors.  The first one was a guy I'd never met before, a very nice guy.  I was sad that I didn't dilate enough on his shift!  The second guy was a guy whose bedside manner I disliked so much that I told my ex I was going to hold the baby in vs. delivering with him.  (sadly, my body did that all on its own.)  The third guy was a guy who I'd seen before for an appt and hadn't particularly liked.  He wasn't especially warm/fuzzy but he did a good job and everything went fine.  (yes, I finally delivered.) I found out afterward he was a friend's long-time GYN and she loved him, so it's funny how everyone is different in their impressions of people.

So the takeaway for me was that with Kaiser or a similar HMO, you may not have much say who your doctor is for your labor/delivery.  For me, that's fine.  For others, it might not be fine.[/quote]I dont think this is uncommom for many OB pratices.  I delivered my first with CWC and had three doctors who I'd never met during my labor and delivery.  They were all from the other CWC location, so even thoug I'd rotated through the OBs at my office, I didn't know anyone at the hospital.[/quote]
