No matter what you will have someone there to help you, and it will be fine! Hoping your LO decides to come on time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-midwife-jury-duty#post-127808 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 08:15:08 +0000 Minnie_Girl 127808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it, it should work out just fine. There's no guarantee they'll even use her for jury duty or you'll hold on to the baby that long. </p> <p>Does your midwife work with other midwives or apprentices? Have you met them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-midwife-jury-duty#post-127741 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 07:17:36 +0000 Mrsbells 127741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah a lot of people who get called for jury duty get dismissed, and they only keep 12 of them out of over 100 people </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-midwife-jury-duty#post-127728 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 07:09:03 +0000 purrpletulips 127728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could she request to be excused because of her line of work and the "on-call" nature of it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-midwife-jury-duty#post-127698 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 06:43:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 127698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More than likely she won't be selected for the jury and it will just be a one day thing. Even if you go late, odds that you deliver on that day aren't that high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-birth-midwife-jury-duty#post-127675 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 06:05:57 +0000 Beyond2 127675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just found out my midwife has Jury Duty the week following my due date. There is a back up plan in place but now I'm a nervous wreck :( With a first child in a family with a history of late births, it's pretty likely I could be birthing that week. I really trust my midwife and want to birth with her! Sorry I just had to vent my worry :( </p>
