To Robin: PRENATAL VITAMINS

September 3, 2004

Robin,

As far as my hospital choices, I am looking at St Lukes. But most

likely I am going to go with Women's. I can't remember if I told you

this or not but my OB, Dr. Rosenfeld's office is right next to

Womens. And he used to deliver at St Lukes but I was told with all of

the construction going on in that area, he will no longer be

delivering over there. He will only be at Women's. So St Lukes may be

out but I still want to tour there. I heard there new unit is nice.

But I hear all kinds of wonderful things about Womens. Yes, I just

got off of the phone with hubby and told him to please pick me up

some jars of Flinstones since I will have to double up on them now

just to reach my Folic Acid requirement. You are right, Flinstones is

tasty. But I used to love them as a child too.

Hey a,

Sorry, it takes me a long time to reply, but I do read the posts.... I

will go with Women's hospital and my OB is also right next to Women's.

Does your OB only see pg patient's on Tuesdays as well? Maybe we'll run

into each other...

By the way, I'm starting to *REALLY* despise the chewable pre-natals...

how are the others going for you?

Hey there. My doc is Dr. Rosenfeld and I normally see his nurse who I

just adore. I think after my UltraSound II, I will start to see him

more regularly. He isn't in a group practice so I figured I wouldnt

be able to have him all to myself the way I would want him. But

because I see the nurse I have went there Mondays, Wed, or Fri late

in the day. I like the schedule. I am almost out of my 1st Tri, so

after that I am going to take a good tour of Womens and St Lukes. It

will be either or. I just dont want a SEMI PRIVATE room...not to be

mean but i couldnt see myself sharing like that at such a special

time..what do you think...have you did your ULTRASOUND II with the

Perinatologist yet..mines is scheduled at the end of Oct also at the

building over at Women's Hospital.
