   purplepanda replied to wannabemommy's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I don't honestly know if giving letters/information to HCPs would do anything. Of course, I'm still a student, so I don't really know what it's like in the field. If you want my advice, I'd suggest...

2. Midwifery?

   purplepanda replied to marshYO8's topic in Ob/Gyn
