Midwife or OB?!

Question

Which one did you choose, and why??

Thanks ladies!

Answer

I chose an OB, I feel more comfortable with a doctor. I think midwives are awesome, just not for me :)

Answer

Depends. Do you mean a certified nurse midwife (CNM) or a lay midwife? I LOVED my CNM but I have delivered with an OB as well and bc I did my research I had a really great experience with both of them. But I would NEVER deliver with a lay midwife. I don't gamble with my life or the life of my child.

Answer

I have an ob one of my family friends (Aly) used her for all 4 pregnancies and loved her and I really value Alys opinion.

Answer

I'm choosing to have an OB just because I have a high risk pregnancy. But if I wasn't I probably would choose a midwife. I feel like they're more personal :) just my personal opinion

Answer

Ob. I adore her and don't feel the need for the extra support of a midwife, even when my ob isn't in the room. Just want my husband with me and he's going to be my unofficial doula lol

Answer

My first I had a ob but she was a private Doctor so she delivered my baby too ... this time I'm in a different state that only has 2 hospital systems so I went with a midwife since once you go to l&d its whatever doctor is on call for that day that delivers I prefer some one who knows me and my body I don't want no random ob looking at my parts that I've never seen or talk to

Answer

With my first and through both my loses I had a midwife and I loved her but decided to go with an ob because after my loses I didn't feel comfortable with the dr she had to refer to about things, I loved my ob but have decided with our next baby we will go back to a midwife just because the whole birthing/ delivery process is so much more personable with a midwife.
