URGENT! Need a new DALLAS midwife ASAP!

[Montse]

I posted this in the Texas Tribal Area as well but I know some of you in this DDC are from Dallas.

I have a midwife who is more of a medwife and I am in desperate need of a real midwife who isn't going to push me into chemical inductions and a c-section for a big baby. PLEASE!! I need recommendations for a midwife - I'm 39 weeks and due on the 19th. My current midwife freaked me out today and said my baby is too big to deliver. If anyone can recommend a midwife who is willing to start this late in the game, I'd really appreciate it! Thank you!

OH, I forgot to mention that she said if there was no time to prep me for a c-section, the doctor would cut my abdomen without anesthesia. I've NEVER heard about this barbaric practice - ever!

I have used them twice now. I have a narrow pelvis and delivered a 9 lb baby last Monday. My first I was transferred to the hospital, but the back-up OB is wonderful and tried everything to deliver my baby vaginally even though the was posterior and facially presented. I know the practice is very busy but if nothing else maybe she can refer you to her OB, who avoids c-sections at all costs.

I believe my midwife's website is www.gentlebeginningsbc.com I'm not sure how it would work with you being 39w, but you could always call and ask.

I don't know how late in the game they accept transfers in, but I've been very happy with my birthcenter and midwives thus far: http://familybirthservices.com/

No advice, but that is the biggest crock of BS I've ever heard! She was simply trying to scare you into scheduling a c/s.

no adivce on dallas midwives, but good luck.

My midwife accepted a new client on 9/5, who was due on 9/4. She told her that she had another Mama who was already due a that point and that she took presidence, but accepted her.

Huge props to you for making this effort at this time! You rock!

[aurora_skys]

as far as that no anesthesia thing goes, yea shes trying to scare you. pretty dirty tactics if you ask me! no surgeon in his right mind would intentionally do such a thing, the lawsuits alone would be tremendous and he would probably lose his liscense. what a stupid and mean thing for her to say...

[immamama]

Your midwife is a nut. Cut you without knocking you out? Yeah, right. Talk about asking for a lawsuit. They won't be able to give you a spinal if it's too late, but they can knock you out (put you completely under) if there wasn't time.
