Boring Update on Midwife appointment

So I met with a midwife yesterday. Basically I told her all the OB from hell horror stories that led me to her. I told her that I did not think a VBAC was realistic for me nor, am I dead set on one but, that, I basically just wanted kind and compassionate care but, at this point, am so desperate for good care that I am willing to do a VBAC if that was my only option.

She said that if I wanted I could see them throughout a pregnancy (God willing it happens again) or for annual checkups but, then have their backup OB perform a Csection if I was interested in going that route instead.

So, to sum up, because she was so nice and I liked their office, staff, and personalized outlook (they do not even permit computers in the exam rooms) my decision will be even harder.

I meet with an OB on Monday and then I will have to sleep on things for awhile. So - that's where I'm at with all that.

Happy Friday!

    Maybe you haven't found exactly what you need. Are there other OBs you can visit that you might fall in love with? Glad the midwife visit went so well!
