We moved 18 months ago from the UK but to navigate the US healthcare system always gives me a headache. Can anyone who gave birth in Manhattan recently give me some pointers on who & how to chose my OB? We live in midtown west/upper west side border. I work in midtown east/upper east side.
We are TTC and I've been told I need a pre conception visit and associated tests, but I don't know how to chose my doctor or my hospital. I don't want to have a C section but many reviews of Mount Sinai ( my closest hospital) talk about the push toward C section and the lack of appropriate monitors on the baby and staffing issues.
I've been to one OB but I didn't like her that much and she can't see me until Jan/Feb.
I don't even know where to start looking for more information. How will I manage a baby here when I can't even manage to figure out where to give birth. This is the part of living abroad I struggle with. Any advice from other mother out here?
