Questions to ask when interviewing a new OB
Now that we are having twins, we need to switch from my wonderful midwife who delivered DS2 to an OB who delivers at an in-network hospital with a good NICU. I am meeting with one next week who has a very good reputation, but wanted to see what questions the experienced multiple moms recommend asking.
Some background: both boys were born vaginally, one with an epidural, one without (by choice). Both were born in hospitals. I separated my pelvis at DS2's birth, and am at risk for that again. My ideal birth would be vaginally with no drugs, but I don't think that is likely at all to happen. More realistically, I'm almost leaning now towards a planned c-section to try to avoid the chance that I'd have to recover from a vaginal birth plus an emergency c-section plus a separated pelvis.
So, what questions to you recommend that I ask, particularly given that I know about having babies in general, and am more concerned about stuff specific to twins this time.
Thanks!!
