    I tried to switch to a MW, however most that service the hospitals I can go to won't take on VBAC patients.  And I didn't feel comfortable going to a birth center because I'm a VBAC and had a lot of complications with my first pregnancy.  So, I stayed with my OB.

    My primary was an OB - I'm considered "high risk" because of my age.  *eye roll*  I did have a few visits with the midwife in the group when my OB and her back up weren't available.  And just in case the MW was on call when I went into labor.

    I saw an OB last time and am seeing the MW at Evergreen this time... although chances are I'll be delivered by an OB anyways... : /

    If I would've known that the MW group at Evergreen would be practically dissolved during my pregnancy, I probably would've gone with the OB that delivered my DD (she was in the same practice as my old OB who has now retired).

    I saw OB because I have a history of stroke.  If not for that I would have done a Midwife. :-)

    I am 40 years old with previous miscarriages and a preemie baby.  So I am definitely seeing a OB, even though I am a great candidate for natural childbirth (unwillingly).

    No, no! It will be at least another couple years before we start thinking about that. I'm very happy with my one, easy child right now. :D

    The OB practice where I had Katie has 3 CNM on staff to do the quick check ups. I saw my OB the first couple of times (I was high risk at that point), and saw the CNM the rest of my pregnancy (when I was cleared from high risk!). I was delivered by another OB in the practice and resident at the hospital. I would have LOVED to have my OB deliver, but he wasn't on call that day. The OB and the resident were excellent. I also did my pp check up with the CNM.

    OB. I'm over 35 and fractured my sacrum about 5 years ago, so I wanted my OB to be a doctor who had experience delivering mothers who had a history of pelvic injury.

    I'm doing a home birth with a LM. My whole family gives birth at home, or more recently in birthing centers.
