Picked our midwife!

I'm so excited. She couldn't be any more different than the ob we used last time (yay). It was so relaxing to meet with her, even the first time. I kept thinking "wow, I get to decide that?" She hasn't had her own practice very long but I immediately felt confident in her abilities. And I loved her assistant! I can't wait to have a homebirth. :D

good job, Celeste! It's great that your so excited about her. You won't regret it. It's a different world than an OB's. :wink

Good for you I know that feeling very well! :) :thumb


My friend had very difficult first pregnancy, ending with pre-eclampsia and C-section and very pre-mature baby. She did not wanna go through that again so I told her to call a local midwife, just to talk to her and find out if she had any advice for her. She was not even thinking about having a HB because she thought she was just considered too high rist to even try. But she did call her and now she is planning a homebirth!! :love Once you talk to a real homebirth midwife you can NOT choose to go to hospital again, can you?

I am happy for you! Enjoy every visit with her. :heartbeat

We just confirmed our midwife too. She is somewhat less experienced than the other options in the area, but there are so many things I just love about her. I am so grateful for the confidence to birth at home with a midwife.

Was doing some research for a doula client today and found out one local hospital has a 16% instrument delivery rate and that the two largest hospitals in the area currently boast 40% and 48% c-section rates!!! That's not a labor and delivery unit-- that's a surgery mill!!!!! makes me wanna :splat
