Just found out im expecting our first baccha and now confused about which gynac to go to. So many names people are suggesting na, dont know how to pick. What did u all look for while choosing? any tips would help.
The most important thing is communication. Choose a doctor who actually listens to your queries patiently instead of rushing you, and is easily reachable on phone or WhatsApp during emergencies.
Look for a doctor who is positive about natural birth and supports safe prenatal yoga or walking if your body allows. You want someone who motivates you to stay active rather than just giving pills.
I am also trying to decide right now! Some doctors are so expensive, while others are too far away. How are you shortlisting your options, are you looking at nearby hospitals?
Choose someone who is very diligent about regular blood tests. I had thyroid issues and my doctor was so proactive in checking my levels every month, which kept both me and my baby safe.
Having gone through a complicated pregnancy, my biggest advice is to choose a senior doctor who specializes in high-risk cases and whose hospital has a proper NICU facility just in case. Safety of the baby is everything.
Direct advice: choose a doctor who is close to your house! Trust me, in your third trimester, traveling 1 hour in traffic for check-ups or when labor pain starts is a total nightmare.
I read a lot of reviews on doctor-finding apps and local mommy groups before choosing mine. It really helps to see what other moms are saying about their bedside manner and normal delivery rates.
For my precious IVF journey, I chose a doctor who was not just skilled but also very compassionate and willing to answer my endless anxious questions. You need someone who holds your hand throughout.
