@slemon21, Absolutely not! When I was pregnant with my first I was originally suppose to see a doctor but she was never in so I always seen a midwife. By my second trimester I still didn't meet the lady who was suppose to deliver my baby and ended up switching. What I like most about seeing a midwife is that they seem to be understanding and try thing's more naturally. For example like home remedies versus using medication. I never felt alone. My advice to you is by your next appointment tell them you only want to be seen by a midwife and to only schedule your appointments when she's available. I'm currently doing that now (: also my midwife understands that I don't feel comfortable with someone other then her delivering my second daughter so If I do go into labor she is to be contacted if she's not on call.

@aiellomorgan, @johanna_b1 I know I want to switch, I love that they make it more personal. I think birth should be natural and empowering and my OBs don't share that belief. They are all for unnecessary procedures. I'm just not sure if it's too late to switch?

I agree with @johanna_b1. This is my second pregnancy and I'm still seeing a midwife. My experience with a regular doctor was okay but I definitely feel more heard and understood.

I've been seeing a midwife since the beginning. I feel like midwives are more understanding and they give you all of their attention unlike a regular doctor. My apt arent rushed, they are very thoughtful, and all they do is baby stuff so they definitely know what they're talking about.
