To all the BFPs please stand up!

lol, just kidding. Just so excited about everyone's great news. Congrats again!

Now, where is everyone delivering their baby/babies? and where is your OBGYN?

I'm delivering at Tampa General and my OBGYN group is with USF Women's Health directly across from TGH. I also participated in the VIP (Very Important Pregnant) Prenantal Group where we all meet every tuesday (today is the first day) each month (twice closer to due date) and kind of have a group appointment with a Midwife or doctor. These are group of moms to be that are the same due month as I am. We get a one on one time with the midwife/doctor each appointment too. And a month after delivery, we get to have a reunion with our babies. I thought this would be a fun experience, and a chance to meet more new friends.

  • That does sound fun. Where did you learn about the group? I wonder if they do something like that in my area?

  • Funny you posted this - I need to find an OB/GYN and was going to post the names of the doctors my insurance covers to see if anyone is familiar with them.  I think I want to deliver at St. Joes North (based on a recommendation from some friends who are nurses).

    They actually offer it at USF Women's Health, it was an option or I can just do a regular monthly visit with the doctor and I chose the fun one hehe.

    Aegis, I did a newborn photoshoot at St. Joes North and it is a nice hospital, more like a hotel and unlimited visitors anytime of the day/night. Full menu to choose from and can order anytime you want instead of pre-ordering everything when you first arrive at the hospital. Internet is available in the room the only thing is the sofa bed they have for the daddy who is staying overnight is not the most comfortable one. The facility is new and really nice. The biggest downside is the place doesnt have a NICU specialist on staff from what I heard but if there are no complications then I dont think its too much of a big deal. The place is so new that the place feels like ghost town heheh, could be a good thing to some, more traquility.

  • That sounds like fun Junie.

    I'm not preggers, but I LOVE my new OBGYN.  I went to a few before I found one that clicked.  Her name is Dr. Shelly Holmstrom and she is also at USF Health.

  • I'll be delivering at Lakeland Regional (YAY!  where I used to work), and my OB is Dr. Garas with Watson Clinic.  He is next door to LRMC.

  • Junie - just wanted to let you know to avoid Dr. Wycoff with USF Women's Health at all costs.  He is an A$$, with a capital A.  And its not just me, I had a friend go with them too and she saw him once and she agreed.

    Yes, I've seen Dr. Homstrom she is a nice doctor, I agree.

    Kim, I heard about Dr. Wicoff and thank you for the heads up. I heard bad things about him from friends too.

  • To those of you in Hernando/Pasco... Do NOT deliver at SHR, do your research. I wish everyone would have told me not to, before I did.

    This place sounds awesome. We don't have anything like that near me. I'm jealous.

  • I am moving back to Ohio in December, right after graduation.  I have to do some research to find a new OB and a hospital!!

    Everyone I know that has delivered at St Joes loves it!

  • Seems like most of you are in Tampa. I live in Palm Harbor. I will be delivering at Morton Plant in Clearwater. I really would have preferred Mease Countryside, but didn't want to switch OB practices. I go to Women's Care of FL, Dr Weinstock is my GYN, but I have to see a partner for OB. So far so good!

     Your prenatal group sounds great!!

     Yeah, for Dr. Homstrom.  I just felt things 'click' with her.  

  • I will be delivering at St Joes Womens on Macdill.  I used to see my OB at their Westchase location but now I've switched to the Macdill location so I can get familiar with the drive.  Plus they have more convenient scheduling for sonograms.  The group used to be Lifetime OBGYN but they changed names to Womens Care.  Dr Bevilacqua is my girl, but so far I've liked everybody.

  • That's where I'll be delivering.  That is where my OB delivers, plus it is the only hopsital that does deliveries around.  I have had lots of friends deliver there and none of them have had any issues, so hopefully I won't either!
