I was just wondering, is it standard procedure in a normal delivery...
....for the doctor who is delivering your baby to only show up when you
are at the pushing stage? I guess it doesn't really bother me, as my doctor was in contact with the nurses at the hospital and everything, and I did see him earlier in the day when I first went into labor - I just was surprised that this was so. Now I am due with a second, and my first doctor has retired, so I am wondering if this is normal procedure or if basically the doula/midwives are the ones who spend time with you during the labor process and the doctor only shows up at the end? I have to find a new doctor, and I don't know if what I'm looking for (more handholding I guess???) is more of a doula thing than a doctor thing... |
