anyone else have a midwife instead of a doctor? how was your experience?

I have a midwive. So far so good but next week they might be mad at me for not doing the glucose test🙊

I have a midwife and I love it! They are very understanding and open. They also take my preferences into consideration.

that sounds great! @lkmama

I went through a medical group with my first child and I am using a midwife for this pregnancy... I love my midwife; she is so attentive and kind! With my first pregnancy I felt like I was always rushed and that I was just a number to them, but going through a midwife has definitely helped me enjoy this pregnancy so much more and it has been such a positive experience.

aww i hope my experience turnes out great w my midwife too 😊😊😊 @mommalegg

no problem. I had a place that let me see both sides. I almost immediately chose midwife just because of how she was towards me. Some places if your ob isn't on call, another ob will do it. My midwife stayed all night in the hospital waiting on me to be ready. she slept in the lounge.

yes! it just felt more personal with the midwife

oh that sucks but at least yur midwife was there with you @chewy1228

thanks for sharing 😊@mommalegg

I had a midwife. I LOVED HER. it was rough in the end though because during delivery I had complications and she had to call the doctor in. and I had never met her prior to that moment

I loved my midwife, she was very attentive, sweet & funny. I had to see an obgyn for my cyst & refused to go back because he was very insincere. My midwife called me once a week for 3 weeks after I had the baby to make sure everything was doing okay. The 3 days I was in the hospital she came in to see me and brought me a slushie right after the birth as a post pregnancy gift. I loved her. But, everyone has different experiences.

I had an OB and a midwife. I personally liked my OB better.. My midwife was kinda a bitch. 😁
