I'm going to my first consultation this friday. I'm asking questions that relate to what I want for my birth. I'm going for a natural, drug-free, no intervention. And from the caregiver I want to know what their experience is, from handling the cord wrapped around the baby to a breech baby without jumping to a c-section or other extreme interventions. I want to know their fear level, how do they view birth to be- natural with nature or as an illness to be treated. Are they willing to follow through my birth and after birth plan, or do they just want to take control. Have they ever lost a baby or a mother, if so why. I also want to know their successful births. The bottom line of it all will come down to how do I feel in this persons presence, am I comfortable, do I like them, or do I have doubts.

Great questions @mrs.blackmon !!

I also asked about circumcision since I was having a boy.

I Google questions...

why did you choose to work with children?

what do you love about your job?

if my child had to go to the hospital would you or who would come to the hospital?

who does the newborn checkup in the hospital?

I'm in the same boat as you two. @summerbaby @mindylou

@summerbaby, I completely understand!!

Oh shoot. I'm doing this soon & I never even processed what to ask 😁
