5 Questions to Ask Your OB or Midwife
Whether you are new parents going to an OB or midwife for the first time, or if you are just looking for a new care provider, you may be wondering what kind of questions you should ask during your prenatal appointments.
Not all providers are really providing mother-friendly care, and it takes some investigation to determine if a provider is the right match for your family. Here are a few questions that can give you an indication of the type of care you can expect from your doctor or midwife:
1. Ask them about their personal birth experiences
2. Ask what they consider valid reasons to induce labor.
3. Ask if they promote movement in labor.
4. Find out if you will be allowed to eat or drink in labor.
5. Talk about the golden hour immediately following your birth.
