“I’ve delivered about 10,000 babies.”
In a recent research inquiry on infertility, Fusion Hill asked doctors what the most important components to achieving a successful pregnancy and birth were. OB/GYNs in our study agreed that the number one factor in working through successful infertility cases is “the relationship”. In order to best connect with and direct patients, doctors need to assess the personality profile of the patient (and the patient’s partner). Is she particularly emotional and in need of more hand holding than another woman who prioritizes scientific data over bedside manner? Is she willing to travel long distances to see an infertility specialist? Is she truly serious about the emotional and financial commitment required to have a successful pregnancy and birth? Answers to these questions help doctors determine the treatment course for each of their infertility patients – one that’s right for her and will ultimately, “deliver”.
