Published: Feb. 15, 2022, 9 a.m.

b'In today\\u2019s episode I\'m sharing 9 important tips to help you make sure you have the right doctor for you during your prenatal care. Emphasis on YOU because it really is going to be individualized to your unique needs. A doctor who may be great for one person may not be great for another. There is not a one size fits all approach.

In order for you to find the right doctor you\\u2019re going to need to ask a lot of questions and it\\u2019s very important that you ask the right ones. Think about what you want for your birth and then start searching for a doctor who can support those wishes. Always listen to your gut and remember that it\\u2019s your birth and your body - you deserve to have a doctor who supports you and makes you feel respected.

In this Episode, You\\u2019ll Learn About:

-How your choice in doctor can impact your overall birth experience

-How vital it is to listen to your gut when selecting an OB

-Why it\\u2019s better to switch doctors earlier on in your pregnancy rather than later
