Congratulations! There is nothing more exciting than finding out you’re expecting. Whether it’s your first child, or your fourth child, each pregnancy and birth is so different. After the sheer joy (or shock!), you might be thinking about choosing an obstetrician to begin your prenatal care. To help new mums & dads, we’ve created a list of some amazing obstetricians working at maternity hospitals around the North Shore.
Choosing an obstetrician for your pregnancy and birth can be a daunting experience. Often your doctor will be able to recommend or refer you to an obstetrician, but it helps to do your own research to make sure you find someone who will support you and your needs during your pregnancy. An obstetrician who was ideal for your friend’s birth may not be ideal for yours.
Here are some top choices right here on the North Shore of trained and experienced obstetricians for you to choose from. Remember to head into your first appointment armed with questions ready to ask, so you can make sure you’ve found the right obstetrician for you.

Dr. Colin Walsh is an Obstetrician and Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialist with nearly 20 years’ experience.
MFM specialists are obstetricians who are experts in high-risk pregnancies, including women with medical disorders in pregnancy, twin pregnancies and women with previous pregnancy complications. MFM is the highest qualification an obstetrician can achieve; it requires years of additional advanced training. Most obstetricians do not hold an MFM qualification.
