I met with a midwife today for my 16 week appointment, and had such a bad experience! The first two midwives I saw were amazing, and I have loved the practice thus far (as I have posted before), but now I am not so sure.
I was talking to this midwife about labor, and she was saying that they sometimes have to split their time with other patients, and definitely will not be there throughout labor. And that I should consider hiring someone to be my coach, in lieu of a midwife...
She also was saying that there wasn't a breastfeeding specialist at St. V's, but nurses helped you, and after 24 hours if you were still having problems then you could go to a specialist, but that they would not come to you...
And then her whole tone when discussing natural birth was off putting. She also was 40 min late, rushed through the whole appointment, and after only being there 10 min, and listening to the HB 30 seconds tried to wrap it up.
Now I am second guessing my decision to go to WHA and St V's.
Any thoughts or opinions? I would love to hear from anyone who has given birth with them at St. V's especially!
