Choosing Your Baby’s Doctor
During your pregnancy, you’ll have the opportunity to choose a pediatrician who fits your needs, lifestyle, and location. Select one several months before your due date so you’ll have an opportunity to discuss your baby’s care before their birthday.

Labor and Delivery
Labor can begin with regular and painful uterine contractions or you may experience a “gush” of fluids as your water breaks. Call your doctor or nurse midwife for specific instructions on when to come to the hospital. Most women can stay home during early labor. When you arrive, we’ll ask you some questions to determine if you need to be admitted.
