Due Date Club May 2007:Hi-seek suggestion on dist btw RESI & NURSING HOME

2006-11-14

Name: Pinks Hi to all \";to be mums\"; & \";the li'l ones\"; !

I have just joined the \";due date May 2007 Club\";
Had gone through previous posts yesterday and was tempted to join the club. It is really good to know that you can have so many alike companions in your journey towards motherhood !

I seek a suggestion from you all.
How crucial is it to have the nursing home close to your residence?!!
I mean, is it advisable to select a nursing home that is not so close (around 20min drive) to your residence?

Actually, I stay in Mulund with my in-laws. My mom stays at Airoli, where I will be going for delivery.
My concern is, Airoli doesn't have good nursing homes wheras Mulund has many - like Butch & Upasani to name a few.
Currently I am visiting gynac Dr. Uday Thanawala, whose nursing home is at Airoli. But I am not very comfortable, as he seems to be rude and never smiles. Also the nursing home's atmosphere is dull & sad.
I have heard that in Mulund, Upasani & Butch are very good gynacs and make you feel comfortable. since this is my first baby, I dont want to take any chance and i want to provide him THE BEST doc.
Hence was thinking whether to change my gynac.
My mom says that if I choose hosiptal in Mulund, there might be problems if labour pain is too severe.

Can anyone pls guide me whether would it be wise to switch to gynac in Mulund or not

Thanks.
Take Care & All the Best
Pinks

P.S : As per last sonogram my EDD is 11th May 2007.

also....

also as you a a primi that is a first time mother will usually have more time to reach ur hospital
uusually primis take 8-12 hrs to deliver but that also depends from case to case and cant be generalised

altho d rthanawala may be a Sr doc if u rnt comfortable with him its no pt delivering with him
also i am on this board but my gynac is in thana west i m very comfortable with her and shes good too
so i wud suggest that u switch over to someone ur comfortable with whether he / sheis in airoli

Hi Smera,

Thank you for your suggestion.
