Midwife or OBGYN? What are you thinking?

Question

My family doctor asked me if I wanted a midwife or obstetrician, I honestly am not sure... what is everyone else thinking ?

Answer

We had a midwife/home birth for our first and are planning the same one for our second! We really enjoyed the prenatal/birth/and postpartum support from her!!

Answer

I’m a midwife so... I choose my colleague ☺️ I made the same choice for my first pregnancy

Answer

Does anyone know the difference? Will insurance pay for a midwife?

Answer

My new OB is a DO (Doctor of osteopathic medicine (DOs) practice a whole-person approach, which means they consider both the physical and mental needs of their patient)
I have only seen her twice 1 time when I had my MC and then for my yearly physical but I really like her.
