Baton Rouge General vs. Woman's

ABC7282

Hi Everyone,

Can you say overwhelmed? I just found out I'm pregnant through an at-home test, but of course want to get to a doctor to find out 1) that the test was right and 2) if everything's going as it should.

I do not have an OB-GYN right now, so I first have to pick a doctor. I'm posting this on the weekend since I can't do much calling around to doctors and hoping to have a little research to help me make a decision next week.

Trouble is, I don't know where to start -- my insurance covers 100% of delivery at Baton Rouge General and 75% at Woman's. Do most docs deliver both places or just prefer one or the other? I don't want this decision to be based on money, but it's a small consideration since we're not exactly rich.

I was buying vitamins at Whole Foods and the lady helping me pick out a prenatal one didn't have an exactly glowing recommendation of BR General -- is this true? Should I avoid it?

Frank opinions are welcomed. Thank you!!
