While expectant mothers are faced with a myriad of decisions while pregnant, one of the most essential decisions to make is who to choose as a health care provider for your pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum care.  This choice - midwife, OBGYN, or both - depends largely on what type of experience you want. 

Nearly every expectant mother envisions herself experiencing a peaceful, natural birth without complications or undue discomfort. While this is the ideal everyone strives for, it sometimes does not occur. Your health needs and those of your baby affect whether you will have a C-section or vaginal birth, but other things may also affect the decision.  

If you are like the majority of parents with infants and toddlers, you are sure to be familiar with otitis media – or ear infections.  If you have taken your child to the pediatrician for treatment, you are not alone.  Over 35% of all pediatric visits in the US are due to ear infections.  Faced with deciding whether surgery is right for your child, you may wonder if there are any other options available.  Well, there are.
