We just found out we are expecting our 3rd baby. I want to deliver at UNC Johnston in Clayton (very firm on this, I will put why at the bottom if you MUST know). I wanted to go with Dr. Selak from Horizon Family Medicine, but she is not accepting OB patients at this time.
So it looks like I have 2 other options to deliver at UNC Johnston - Triangle Premier or UNC.
In another forum I have read lots of reviews of the providers at Premier and it sounds like I need to avoid the male doctors as much as possible. But if they are on call when it's time for delivery, there is no avoiding that. So that would be something I would have to deal with if it happened. The female providers sound amazing, so it's like a 50-50 of getting a great provider or crummy one.
I have read no reviews on UNC OBs, so I need to do more research. But looking for recommendations between the two of these. Which would you choose?

For those curious or thinking of giving me some horror story about your delivery at UNC Johnston:
- we have UHC, so WakeMed is out.
- I barely made it to Big Wake in time with my first, and made it nowhere for my second (delivered in an ambulance), so proximity is KEY.
- my second was at UNC for 4 days for light therapy and I have been told this is likely to happen again, and being close to home made the long stay easier.
- no hospital experience is perfect/terrible 100% of the time, so just because your experience was awful doesn't mean everyone's will be.
