High Risk OBs?
Hi everyone! I live in Rigby, which is pretty equal distance between Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg and the two hospitals in Idaho Falls. My previous two babies, I delivered at Madison. However, I’m wanting to swap to another OB before TTC our third, as I want to deliver at EIRMC. My last couple C-sections had complications, and while I’ve made improvements with my health that should help, I know I’m still considered pretty high risk because of my history. I feel like I’ll be less anxious going to a bigger hospital with more resources. Does anyone know of a good OGBYN in Idaho Falls who delivers at EIRMC and specializes in high risk Obstetrics?

I became pregnant again 3 months later, and he was the one who had to tell us I had miscarried at 8 weeks. He was incredibly gentle and compassionate in the way he delivered the news and supported both of us afterward.
I became pregnant again 3 months after that, and he monitored my pregnancy like a hawk. He had us come in weekly for stress tests (more if I wanted) and referred me to an MFM specialist to also see weekly. He understood how traumatic pregnancy after loss can be and took every precaution. He also allowed me to induce
I saw Dr Leavitt for mine and he was amazing. He did refer me out to an MFM at one point but he handled pretty much everything
