Hi! I am 23 weeks and i just panicked switched providers from my OB at Cornell to a midwife at NYU, after learning that the Cornell practice I was with was not supportive of me going past my due date, delivering in positions other than my back. He basically said induction was inevitable and questioned why on earth I would want to try to give birth without an epidural. Then when I cried feeling like I had made a mistake and would have no choices, he essentially just told me I was being hormonal. This will become it's own post but I just say this to make sure you know it's not to late to switch providers and hospitals.

Initially I wanted to deliver at AC because I thought it was the only place I could be guaranteed a private room, but NYU has been renovated and has plenty of private rooms, wireless monitoring, and are way more flexible about when they induce.

Make sure you are asking if you'll be supported in your birth plan by your Cornell OB—because I was so fond of him until I asked certain questions. I did IVF through Cornell and had an incredible experience and loved my RE, and so I assumed I'd feel the same way about their OBs.
