Seeing ob for pregnancy?

[Rylins mama]

Anyone seeing an ob for their pregnancy but choosing to UC? I have been on the fence with everything so much. I have no problem UC but my husband wants a midwife but at this point Im having no luck with finding one so Im really going to try to talk my husband into it. I plan on seeing an ob through the pregnancy without telling them my plans. I want to just say oops baby came too fast but Im also worried they will want me to come right in. So if we go in this direction how should I play it?

I'm seeing an OB for my twin pregnancy, and I'm glad for it.

I'm also planning a UC, an "oops, babies came too fast!"  Which is more likely to happen with twins at least, lol.

I think that if I make it to 38 weeks, I'll just stop making appointments with my OB.  If they question me, I'll say that I changed practitioners last minute.  But I doubt they will question me.  When they called me saying to call them to make an appointment with the perinatologists, I just ignored it, and they never said anything about it, except my OB asked if I was seeing them, and I said no.  He didn't seem to care.

I'm still not sure if I will go to the hospital after they are born or not, especially if I tell them I changed practitioners.  I might just get a pediatrician to look at them a few days pp (assuming they appear to be in good health).  But still kind of unsure! =P

I'm going to start seeing an OB if I get approved for medicaid. But, I'm also wondering the same thing about what to tell the OB about the birth and when. I know not to tell them it was on purpose of course but still not sure when or how to tell them. I don't plan to go to the hospital after the birth unless there is an emergency.

Plan on doing the same as the above, probably with the "I'm changing practitioners" bit and then just seeing my awesome pedi a few days after birth.
