I switched from an OB to a midwife at 16 weeks
Just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone is having doubts about their care provider and feeling trapped. I have been seeing an OB up until now for my prenatal care, but I haven’t ever felt like she and I “clicked”, plus I always wanted a midwife instead. I was afraid that because of insurance or whatever it would be a massive, expensive pain to make the switch, but thanks to a supportive husband and friend, I decided to look into it. Well my hospital has five midwives, so it was a remarkably easy switch. Like, insanely easy. I had a recommendation from a friend and was able to get an appointment with that very lady! And there won’t be any gaps in care. So, if you’re thinking about switching, or having doubts, please please look into it! It’s so worth it just to know! I am so happy that I bothered to check my options.
