Gyno Dilemma

I am supposed to go for a PAP test this month because it has been 6 months since my 6 week postpartum check-up. I haven't made the appointment yet, because I'm not sure what to do... You see now that I do PR for a hospital, more importantly a women's hospital, I am feeling like for the next baby I should deliver here. However, my doc is not affiliated with this hospital. So, do I switch docs and find one here - thus, making it easier for appointments and such during work hours - or stick with the doc I really like and that delivered my precious Madeline? Any advice would be appreciated.

I think you should call your current doctor, explain your situation and ask if they can refer you to a doctor they know that is part of your hospital's group. (most times they can because doctor's are social folks

They are usually very understanding and eager to make sure you are in good hands with your new doctor. This will also serve to let your doctor know it wasn't anything they did that made you want to switch doctors, it's just a change of situation. They'll be thankful you were so thoughtful. :-)
