Choosing a Practitioner for Your Pregnancy

So, you're pregnant! Congrats, now who will provide your care? Do you care if you have a woman or a man? Do you prefer a midwife to a doctor? Do you even know all of the options that you have? Believe it or not the choices are more than midwife or doctor... Where do they do births? Do they have partners? Ah, so many questions to ask. What is your favorite interview question to ask when interviewing a care provider?

The choice of your practitioner is very important because you will be spending a lot of time with them during the course of your nine months of prenatal care. Some people actually choose one practitioner but then decide at some point that they have chosen the wrong person and wind up switching in pregnancy.
