OB vs Midwife

[el1zabeth]

I love my OB, and we will be going back to him for baby #2. There is a midwife group associated with my OB group, but, honestly, I have a complicated medical history and wanted someone who had had as much training in all medical fields as possible. I loved my OB's relatively "less is more" hands off approach. He is wonderful and I could not imagine changing. I loved that he was willing to contact my other specialists and they could have conversations about my symptoms and work out some ideas. I had the experience that my doctor never pushed a medical intervention that was unnecessary and showed great patience with me and my birth.

Maybe you could interview a few options you are thinking about and see whose the best fit for you?
