My doctor is fairly cautious, which I like, but he doesn't always explain fully what he means. Thank you. Also, the hospital I will be delivering at is fairly small, live in a rural community so it pays to be cautious, I feel. In answer to Rachael, my "ob" will also be the doctor for the baby. The doctors in this area are family doctors with specialties.
