Around here, getting a midwife is not a guarantee because midwives are covered by provincial health insurance (i.e. everyone who is a permanent resident or citizen is covered and has no copay or out-of-pocket expense upon receiving care). There is more demand than there are available midwives. Anyway, I got a call from the group I was hoping to hear from, and I got a great midwife! She co-authored the British Medical Journal study on homebirth that was recently published, and a good friend of mine works for her now. I'm just very excited. We have our first appointment next week.

) but by the time I had my third, I was making sure to call as soon as I got a positive test, even though we were out of town, because I had heard about how scarce they can be. (I'm in Ontario.)
