People Also Ask
How do I choose between an OB/GYN and a midwife?
It depends on your medical needs and birth preferences. Obstetricians are trained to manage all pregnancies, including high-risk cases. Certified nurse-midwives support lower-risk pregnancies with a personalized, holistic approach.
Do El Camino Health providers support natural or low-intervention births?
Yes. Many of our obstetricians and midwives have experience with natural births, including unmedicated and low-intervention options. We work with you to follow your birth plan as closely as possible while keeping safety the top priority.
How soon should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?
We recommend contacting your chosen provider as soon as you confirm your pregnancy, ideally between six to eight weeks of gestation.
