Advice Please! What Should I Do About Dr?

Before I was on my hubby's insurance, when I found out I was pregnant, I called a local health clinic to set up an appointment and have started going there for my prenatel visits. I am now 14 weeks and everything just cleared with my hubby's insurance (Humana). Now that I have insurance, should I still continue going to the clinic (where I am being seen by a midwife), or continue my pregnancy at a regular Dr.'s office? What would be more practical and wise to do?Advice Please! What Should I Do About Dr?
You should go wherever makes you feel the most comfortable! If you like where you go now then stick with them. If you want to change then you are still early enough in your pregnancy that it wouldn't be a huge deal!Advice Please! What Should I Do About Dr?
Really? Humana took that long with you? Crazy, it took one visit with me...I HATE Humana...poor customer service, took me 6 months to get me my card and apparently denied assisting you while you were doing prenatal, should have taken 72 hours...oui...





That rant being out of the way, either or is fine. I am going to a mid-wife now. However, when going to a doctor's office, you may very well still get a mid-wife, which is what I am doing. I prefer going to the doctor's office, because I am seen by all members at least once and in case of an emergency, there is a doctor on staff. A mid-wife is just as certified to deliver babies, but they can't really do surgeries or anything of that nature. Do what you feel best with. If you trust and like your mid-wife, stay there. If not, shop around...and good luck!!
it depends on who you are more comfortable with. if you like who you are seeing then stay there. if you think you would feel 'safer' seeing someone else then do that. if you have co-pays on the insurance it might be cheaper to still see the midwife. but really it's all personal choice.
