Whether you're trying to conceive naturally, planning IVF, or already thinking about starting a family, choosing the right obstetrician is one of the most important decisions you'll make. In this episode, you'll learn the questions to ask, when to start looking for an OB-GYN, how to advocate for yourself throughout pregnancy, and what makes pregnancy care different for IVF patients. In this episode, I'm joined by one my favorite OB-GYNs, Dr. Justin Thompson, to talk about his journey into obstetrics and what every patient should know before choosing the doctor who will care for them during pregnancy and delivery. Justin and I dig into what it really takes to find the right obstetrician (spoiler: don't wait until you're pregnant!), how he creates a safe and positive birth experience, the unique considerations for patients who conceived through IVF, and why patient experience should be a bigger priority in healthcare. We also discuss physician burnout, the future of obstetrics, and practical ways to advocate for yourself and your growing family.
