i signed and also took part in the teeny tiny protest in frankfurt on wednesday. there were only a handful midwifes and mothers (and one very proud papa!) but we managed to collect lots of signatures. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile"><br><br>
i'm praying every day that this issue will be resolved soon. and i don't normally pray.<br><br>
i'm expecting number three in december and the two midwifes who took care of me last time around won't be available anymore due to the insurance increases. one is expecting her first daughter and doesn't know if she'll return to birth midwifery next year because of finances and the other one is giving up private practice in june and settling for a few more years of hospital work before retirement. this is SO tragic!<br>
thankfully i found one other midwife who will continue at least for now. but she's pretty far out of town and has three young children herself, so who knows if she'll make it here in time.<br><br>
i'm very upset about this situation. very upset.<br><br>
but i'm proud of all the many people who've taken a moment to give this some thought and have signed the petition in hopes of the government creating a rescue plan!
