A doctor on a power trip about my baby’s life is a horrible experience that I had a few weeks ago. They wanted to induce me. Thankfully my midwife suggested going for a second opinion & today my labor started naturally. Wish me luck ladies. It’s my first baby. ☺️
With my first baby I switched from an OBGYN to a midwife at about 27 weeks. My experience with the midwives was amazing... I am pregnant again n my midwives closed their practice. I found an OBGYN started seeing them n I was never satisfied. Wn I told dem I was going to change Drs they informed me they hv 8 midwives. I was like WHAT??? At my next appointment I saw one of the midwives n I hv stuck with them ever since. For a healthy pregnancy I will always suggest a midwife.
I'm 41 weeks, first baby, and I just wanna thank you for all of these videos. Most of the classes in my area were canceled due to covid, and these helped ease my mind a whole lot. I'm being induced in two days if I don't have her over the weekend. I just wanted you to know. You've made me feel a great deal better and I have a panic disorder on top of it. Thank you so much for making this information available to women everywhere!
The hospital I will be birthing at has the lowest rate of C section in our area, and the OBs work WITH midwives during the labor and delivery process. I really think for me, it’s the best of both worlds, taking advantage of what both can offer me as a patient. I’m happy I don’t have to choose between an OB or a midwife.
My first dr told me if I do a home birth my baby will die even though the hospital is five minutes away. I left and went to a birthing center. Later called and found out if I didn't do their mandatory covid test they would count me as a positive. And if I didn't stay the mandatory 24 hours or do the pku test they would call social services. Now I have a midwife. Shooting for a home birth. Lesson. Always do your homework before if you can. ♥
I have a few friends who are also pregnant and we're all delivering at different hospitals. We've all gotten different rules. It's truly a mess. I opted for a home birth because the hospital that take my insurance just didn't seem to have consistent rules across the board and they were changing monthly. It got more stressful and I just didn't feel safe with them. It was a blessing in disguise because my husband saw the run around they were giving us and finally agreed to a homebirth which is what I wanted anyways. I'm 38 weeks Friday and no stress just joy!
I wish I knew I can change providers. I had an OB for my two pregnancies and I had anxiety every time I went to see her, and when she wasn’t avail I had to schedule with other providers I felt good and no anxiety. Idk why I allow that to happened 😞
Am I the only person on earth who loved their OB? Low risk pregnancy but scary labor and birth. Even if I hadn’t started in the hospital definitely would have ended up there anyway. My doctor always answered our questions told me if I wanted to squat I could squat(ended up with an epidural so that didn’t happen) Defiantly will use her again if we still live near by and she at the clinic.

All the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ May God bless you ❤️
Amazing! You're going to do so well. Congrats!
Aww I'm excited for you new mom! I am rooting for you and baby to have a positive birth experience!
Mine was opposite. The midwife tried to induce me and the OB specialist was ok with having me wait.

I’m 38 weeks, switched to a midwife at 30 weeks. Best decision ever!❤️

Midwives are the best and more supportive than a doctor or other provider. Always choose what is best for you.

They tried something similar with me. I walked out & went for a second opinion.
Unbelievable you went through that!
Super glad your going to have your homebirth with supportive midwife ❤️
