If you haven't figured it out already...my husband and I are trying to conceive...but I recently found out that my gyno doesn't deliver at the hopital that I would like to deliver at...but I'm not sure how to go about finding a new doctor...what should I do?

well, you have to decide which you prefer, your doctor or the hospital that you want to deliver at.
whichever you choose then get comfortable with the remaining peice.
so, if you decide to stick to your OB, then visit the hospital he/she delivers at and ask for a breif tour of labor and delivery so you are familiar with the surroundings. many hospitals offer this to expecting moms as a tour on a certain day and time anyway!
if you choose to go with a new dr, then go to the hospital where you want to deliver and ask for the names of OBs that deliver there. then, you have a list to work off of. then, narrow it down by who will accept your insurance and then visit the remaining drs to see who you are comfortable with.
good luck, and personally, if you feel good about your current OB, then i would just keep your dr and get aquainted with the new hospital, but that's just me.
take care.

Look in the phone book
Do a search online for the hospital you are delivering at and see what OB doctors they have in their directory

you should be able to ask your OB/GYN for a referral to another doctor that does deliver at the hospital that you want...also you might want to check with the hospital but usually(at least the one I work at has them) have OB/GYN's in the hospital or buildings around the hospital that are affeliated with that hospital

Ask your current doctor to refer you to someone that does deliver at that hospital. If he has no idea, call the hospital yourself and ask!

you're doc may have lost privileges at that hospital. That's a bad thing. Get a new one fast if that's the case.
