I am in week 35 and thinking about changing my doctor I chose for delivery. I would still like to deliver in Mount E Orchard, but am looking for a doctor who is more open for my wishes especially concerning birth plan like delayed cord clamping, skin to skin contact and no c section unless an emergency. Could you please advice me?

During week 35 is a bit late to change gynae but still possible. It will take sometimes to develop trust in a particular gynae and thus changing gynae at week 35 might make you feel insecure.

I do have a friend who changed gynae after 30 weeks pregnant as her previous gynae did not want to let her try Vaginal Birth After C-sect and thus she switched to a gynae that is pro-VBAC.
