Awesome OBs in Columbia, Missouri

When searching for pregnancy care, it’s important to consider what level of care you need. For a low-risk, uncomplicated pregnancy, a midwife may be the best fit for you. The use of a midwife can reduce the risks of interventions being offered or used when they are not necessarily needed. However, if you have a higher-risk pregnancy (the definition of a truly high-risk pregnancy is an entirely different discussion), a medical doctor may be the right fit for you because you may need a more specialized level of care.

There are many instances in which increased monitoring, more extensive testing, and the use of interventions are needed. Trying to find a medical provider in the midst of navigating complex medical conditions can make it feel even more overwhelming. Below is a list of some awesome medical doctors in the Columbia area that offer pregnancy and birth support for women. It can be difficult to find a provider that is right for you, but let this list be a starting point, talk with other people that have had experiences with these doctors, and ultimately go with who you feel fits best with your values and needs.
