Our office enjoys
providing women and their partners with the information they need to
become parents. At the first prenatal visit, you will receive a
“welcome bag” filled with helpful pages, pamphlets, and booklets which
will enable you to make wise choices. It is easy to focus on the
process of pregnancy, labor and birth; however, we hope to direct
your goals to the outcome of this process. Your birth experience
should be a wonderful time, but it is your baby’s health and your
health that have lifelong consequences.
Dr. Craig has over 35 years of experience to help you achieve a
healthy baby.
Dr. Craig’s nurse-midwifery background and her vast experience
working with high-risk pregnancies, has helped Dr. Craig develop
a unique bond and understanding with her patients. She has
delivered hundreds of healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancies
who chose natural childbirth with minimal intervention. She also
does vaginal birth after a previous cesarean section (VBAC) in
appropriately selected women. She supports her patient’s choice to
have an unmedicated labor or to labor with an epidural anesthetic as
long as the woman and her baby’s health is not jeopardized. Rarely,
epidural anesthesia is necessary for a safe delivery, for example,
with pre-eclampsia or with a VBAC. Patients can hire a doula to
support them in natural labor and childbirth. Dr. Craig delivers
more than 90% of her patients. Fewer than 10% are delivered by one
of the female obstetricians in her call group.
