Who do you see as an OB?

Another vote for CNM care- I would never see an OB unless I somehow became high risk.

I am also curious why your HPV requires frequent exams? That isn't usually the case unless there are some underlying issues- perhaps you have gotten bad/weird advice? Generally colpos, etc are held off until the end of pregnancy anyway.

Many nurses deliver in the L & D where they work and many choose not to- it's all up to your personal preference if there are other hospitals available.

Here is a link to the CDC guidelines FYI: http://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment/2006/hpv.htm

I currently work in a rural hospital that is the only one within 3 hours of here. Most of my coworkers deliver here. They choose their labor nurse in advance and talk with her about it. If they're planning on an epidural, or know they are having a section, they often choose their anesthesia provider and OR crew in advance too.

Even when I lived in cities and my coworkers had more choice, they usually delivered at the hospital where they worked. I'm talking about L&D nurses who know the staff, both medical and nursing.

Yes, it's a little creepy the first time you have an internal exam done by someone you work with, but you wouldn't have chosen that person if he/she weren't professional. I find it a little creepy having an internal exam done by anyone other than my sexual partner anyway.
