My husband and I are planning on moving to Costa Rica next year before I'm due in july. I was wondering your opinions on not getting prenatal checkups. I have a midwife picked out there but while I'm here I don't think I want to get a midwife just to have to change in a few months.

I am young, healthy, and I have kind of a philosophical view that if my baby isnt supposed to make it I have to ability to try again and if the baby wasn't healthy enough to survive through pregnancy she probably wouldn't have been healthy in life. I'ts just survival of the fittest.

Has anyone gone the majority of their pregnancy without prenatal visits? What was the outcome? I know there are women who don't find out until they are much farther along.
