When the expecting mother is making contact with the medical attendant, who is going to look after the antenatal care and the delivery, here are a few points to consider:

• Do you feel comfortable with your attendant?
• Do you feel you can ask the attendant any questions without feeling embarrassed?
• Does the attendant practise close by?
• Are you happy with the hospital at which the attendant does deliveries?
• Does the attendant practise alone or in a group practice?
• Are you happy with the other doctor/midwife who will stand in if the attendant is not available?
• Are the practice hours convenient for you?
• Are the staff members and nursing sisters friendly?
• What is the attitude of the attendant and approach to different birth options (e.g. home birth, water birth) you have chosen?
• Are you comfortable with the attendant’s preference for natural birth or assisted modes of deliveries?
• Does the attendant have access to ultrasound facilities at the practice?
