Hi everyone, I am four weeks pregnant and I just found out today that my blood work confirmed my feelings of me being pregnant. I havent gone to the doctor and i need to find one soon. Does anybody recomend a good doctor or an OB that would do a great job troughout my pregnancy? I live in burbank, but work most of the time by rush hospital. please help.

Congrats! My best suggestion is to ask a friend or family member who has recently had a baby who their doctor was. That's how I found my doctor (I was new to the area and had my husband ask his coworker's pregnant wife!). I would also suggest, even if you are going to get a midwife, a hospital delivery is safest. I had a completely normal and healthy pregnancy and delivery. However I ended up in emergency surgery after delivery because of an inverted uterus (my uterus tried to follow my son out!) and if I had not been at a hospital I could have bled out before I got to one. You never know what can happen. Best of luck!

I worked backwards. I decided what kind of birth experience I wanted and found a midwife that would support me. She is part of a medical group and only handles low risk pregnancies and will hand me over to an obgyn in the group if there are complications but I am hoping for the best. I want a hospital birth with as little medical intervention is safe safe. I also want a water birth which is hard to find in a hospital. This is also my first pregnancy so I wanted someone that didn't mind taking the time at appointments to make sure all of my questions were answered and would make me as comfortable as possible. Once I found someone willing to help me meet my goals I made an appointment and feel pretty good about it, she's been great.

UIC, right near Rush, is wonderful! The nurses are attentive and friendly and the doctors are knowledgable.
Great OB= Dr. Mark Vajaranant

If I were you, I would look for a birth center. Do research on the Bradley method. I have used it four times and it really works.

most doctors wont see you intil you're about 8 weeks so you still have time to look- go to some and ask if you can see their facilties or even have a tour- ask what they offer and do your research- see what kind or type or care you want andd ask what is common in their practice
