Does anyone have experience with switching from an OB to Midwife? I'm 24 weeks currently. Midwife just values more of the same things as me. My OBs office is also on a rotation of 4 Drs and I really only like/trust one & don't want to risk her not being on call when I'm in L&D.

@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.

Having some pretty intense constant lower back pain and maybe super light contractions. But can't tell because the back pain is way over powering contractions so I'm walking around my room to see if they get worse.
