Where are you from?

I live in SS, but there really isn't an ob out here that I know of unless you count the regular dr's who will do both - I drive to AF and its totally worth it you have to drive there for the closest hospital to deliver anyways if you move to EM or SS- I used someone else and then switched to these guys - cause I really didn't like my last one, these guys were actually refered to me through a lot of people h live out here -their names are dr melendez, dr lameroux, dr aagard - I don't have the phone number handy but they should be in your insurance provider books, if not lt me know and I'll get you a number, they have other dr's there - but I like the 3 of them, if your pregnant you will rotate who you get each visit - but then you could choose whose personality you like the best - but they are all nice and gentle

I am currently pg with my fourth and I am using a midwife. Bridgette at Better Birth in Orem (801) 225-5668 and I am delivering at BellaNatal Birthing Suite in Orem (801) 222-9752.  I love their approach to pregnancy and birth as it is natural, loving and very empowering to Mothers and healthy for babies. I have had two hospital births and one birth home birth and I am repeating my birth home experience because it was so positive and wonderful. If a facility had been available for my last hospital delivery I would have chosen it for that one as well.  Good luck and happy pushing!

I went to the Melendez, Lamoreaux, Aagard, Lind practice for one check-up before switching to Legacy OB/GYN (both in AF).  Both practices seem great and the doctors are nice, my husband just didn't like the first practice's billing method (estimated amount you will owe after insurance pays must be paid before due date in monthly payments) since I am due next year and it wouldn't allow us to take advantage of pre-tax deduction through our cafeteria plan for the monthly payments made this year as our elected amount is already mostly used up.  Legacy requires the estimated amount after insurance due before your due date also, but they will let you wait and make one lump payment up to 3 weeks before your due date.  That works better for us since that will allow us to wait until 2009 to pay and our elective ammount for our cafeteria plan will be able to be calculated to include the cost of having a baby. 

The nice thing about Melendez, Lamoreaux, Aagard, Lind is that you can rotate who you see so you can get to know all of them, not knowing who will actually end up delivering your baby.  At Legacy, you see one doctor throughout your entire pregnancy, and then if they aren't available when you deliver, you end up with one of the other doctors in the practice that you haven't met. 

Thank you thank you! I am glad to say that you all have really helped me. I'm going to go with the most common the Melendez group. Thanks again!

I went with the Certified Nurse Midwives at Timpanogos Women's Health Care for all three of my girls and have been very happy.  I loved having a CNM who was with me through all of my labor.  I rotated through and met all 6 of the them before labor and delivery.  They were supportive of both natural labor and having an epidural.  I highly recommend them.
