How did you find your OB or MFM? Most women fall into one of three camps:
1) You asked your friends who love their OBs for recommendations.
2) You searched through your insurance to find one who has the highest credentials.
3) You randomly picked off of Yelp and hoped for the best.
No matter how you found your treating physician, you must know that not all doctors are created equal. So it's important that you find a doctor that you trust.
Do you trust your doctor?
The litmus test to see if you trust your physician is who you ask the most questions to: your doctor or Dr. Google (or your mom or your friends). (Tweet that!)
While the lack of trust may be related to a how your doctor is treating your pregnancy or maybe your physician's communication style with you, prenatal care is a 2 way street. (Tweet that!)
Your doctor cannot treat you or help you with something you don't tell him or her.
So my question to you is, do you speak up enough when you're at the doctor's office? Watch this short one-minute video to learn more about why that's important and how it impacts your baby if you don't.
