Hi - re your question - AOC doesnt do the one Ob thing. You meet all the Ob's there over your pregnancy and then when you deliver you get whoever is 'on' delivery that day. I dont think you can pick either. But they are all very very nice, and I figure this way you get a wide range of professional opinions and you won't be railroaded into one persons way of thinking. I have meet all but one of them so far and I am meeting the last one on friday, and so far I have been really comfortable with any of them being there to delivery my baby. Hope that helps.]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 21:20:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=639443&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#639443 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=638658&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#638658 Author: littlestar

I'm currently meeting all of them, but I don't know if you stick with just one after you've done the rounds. I think I'll just keep meeting whoever fits my schedule and that keeps them all up to date on me.
I've been so impressed with them so far (a friend recommended them to me) Things didn't look too good the other day and within an hour I was in their office being checked - they didn't have an appt free but somehow just slotted me in.]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 10:16:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=638658&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#638658 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=638566&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#638566 Author: YvetteandElla

Hi - congrats on your news. We are with AOC - Auckland Ob Centre. They are brilliant, theres a great team, and they are all very professional yet very personable as well. Even the receptionists remember our names and phone us regularly with any updates or questions. They are very good at recommending tests and scans and they have 24 hour call line - that I used - and even very late at night eh Ob who called back was helpful and not at all bothered. They cost about $4000 - but I think they earn it with their service and attention to detail. Hope that helps - good luck with your coming months!!!]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:36:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=638378&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#638378 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=637530&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#637530 Author: my4beauties

I agree with the ladies about AOC. We were with them for our first daughter and am now back there again for the 2nd. They are excellent.

You will be needing to make an appointment shortly as they fill up quite quickly but the first appoitment will be at about 9 weeks.

Congratulations]]> Mon, 16 Mar 2009 10:23:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=636982&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#636982 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=636849&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#636849 Author: YvetteandElla

Woops - I forgot to say ... a recommendation from someone you trust is a good place to start in choosing an OB I think. If you know someone who had a really good experience with an OB, it's worth meeting them. Also, follow your gut! Your OB will see you through everything, allay your fears, care for you, and in theory, cut you open if you had a c/s - you want to have faith in them, trust them, and feel absolutely comfortable with them.

We chose Paul because we met him when we did IVF (he was involved with our cycle through F+), and a nurse that we trusted who had been heavily involved with us recommended him as a private OB when we found out we were pregnant. ]]> Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:05:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=636791&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#636791 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=636786&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#636786 Author: ginger

I dealt with Paul Robinson at Origins in Mt Eden and he was wonderful - I could never recommend him highly enough. We've already started saving for him for when we have No. 2 - I wouldn't even think about doing pregnancy and birth again without him. ]]> Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:01:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=636786&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#636786 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=636734&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#636734 Author: Maya

Congrats Yvette!

Like Kye said, AOC are great. We have an OB that we work with here, Dr Anil Sharma and he's brilliant too, if I'd needed an OB when I was preg with lil miss I would have gone with him. He works in the same practise (Birthright) as the OB I had with the gremlins, Mahesh Harilall, who is also good but I like Anil better.]]> Sun, 15 Mar 2009 20:56:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=636734&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#636734 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25224&PID=636704&title=obstetrician-in-auckland#636704 Author: peanut butter

Hi Ladies,

This time around we have decided to go with an Obstetrician I am wondering do any of you out there have any you would recommend or stay away from and any tips for choosing them
