Birth Certificate Question
I recently noticed that the attendant listed on my child’s birth certificate isnt the Doctor that was present at his birth. He was born via csection so there were no shift changes mid labor. The Doctor who signed it did work at the practice but did not oversee us while we were there, not that I remember anyway. It has been 11 years. Is the attendant listed usually the actual Doctor that delivered your baby or can it be any OB who worked at that hospital and clinic? My husband says that she was probably the physician on duty the day the certificate was filed.
Important to note that the day we looked over his birth certificate info we realized there was a mistake with the delivery time so they did have to submit a change. Could this possibly have anything to do with the attendant being someone different?
