You can choose your obstetrician by looking at the Imperial College Healthcare private care website and looking through the names of obstetricians who are affiliated with private healthcare and you can choose and arrange an appointment to meet with them. Many obstetricians will offer a meet and greet opportunity to meet them informally and choose someone to work with that you feel comfortable with and to help you for this really exciting time in your life, the precious birth of your new baby.
