Asking the right questions can help you choose the best plan of care and health care providers for your needs. Health care providers include medical provider, physical therapist, chiropractor, OBGYN, acupuncturist, mental health counselors, etc.
Dr. Madalyn and Dr. Kaylee break down top 8 questions that all women should be asking their health care provider. It’s important to address and tailor these questions to your specific needs. On this episode they address and break down those 8 questions and why each equation is so important to ask.
When it comes to choosing your health care team, it is important to acknowledge that is their job to educate and equip you with the knowledge. In the end YOU have the ultimate decision of making YOUR own choices.
TOP 8 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER:
1.) What is their stance on allowing you to choose your care?
2.) What options do you have during labor and delivery? What are those options?
3.) Do they typically push towards medications or do they approach in a more holistic way?
4.) What can you really expect or experience through pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum?
5.) Will you get any information about nutrition, mental health, and exercise from the medical provider?
6.) What is their stance on induced labor?
7.) Do they refer to other practitioners? (physical therapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, etc.) And have they met them?
8.) Does your menstrual cycle matter?
These are important questions to ask!
