Most of the doctors at Lkld Ob are usually out 2-3 months. Sometimes longer- but they are all awesome.

I prefer the midwives at Labor Of Love Childbirth Services. They are licensed midwives that believe childbirth is a natural process not a medical condition. They help you realize your body is made perfect and it knows how to give birth. It is all natural chilbirth in the birth center or they will come to your home for the delivery. They take care of all the prenatal care, delivery and postpartum. If you want a medically altered birth stick with an OB but it you want a natural process birth check them out. You wait maybe ten minutes for your appointment if at all and they spend on average thrity minutes with you. You can call them directly 24 hours a day with ANY question. It is awesome. I had my second daughter with them and my first with an OB I wish I would of known about this the first time around. Thought I would share. ( did I mention you eat and drink in labor and move around as much as you want, I lived in the jacuzzi tub in labor).

Feel empowered hire a midwife!

I agree Tripsi, there are some good Obs there, and I think at WH hospital too.

I had a friend who tried to deliver with labour of love, her second child too. However, complications at the end forced her to go by ambulance to the hospital.

What always worries me with that, and just something moms probably should consider before choosing, is what if crucial time is lost because they do have to make a transfer like that? I know my friend was lucky, everything turned out okay in the end. But, I also know from personal experience, if that had been my situation, 2 out of 3 of my kids could've died. Time is often of the essence with newborn problems. And it's just something to consider, because women never really know from one birth to the next where a problem could crop up. Births are just like the babies themselves, very individual. You may think you know how it will go, but there are not ANY guarantees you do know for sure.

Just my thoughts, I do know my friend said great things about the staff and services at Labour of Love, no complaints there.

i found a new ob doctor. i went to the womens wellness center. they have offices in wachula, sebring and lake placid. i seen dr lori leaseburge. i have to say i loved her. i have never felt sooo comfortable in my life as with her. the office staff where sooo nice and she was very nice. i understand this office would be an inconvience for most but i live in the southern part of polk county so it worked great for me. they deliver out of sebring.
if anyone is looking for a new wonderful dr go see her.
