They had me seeing the midwife for the middle chunk of my pregnancy and planned on having her at my delivery until it was clear I'd need more interventions, at which point they started scheduling me with my OB again. It was nice having options! In my region the groups tend to be really large and impersonal so my practice was a nice change of pace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2026262 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 18:37:26 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2026262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, single doctor practice. I love it this way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2026242 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 18:27:30 +0000 miramira 2026242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The system here in the UK is different: the midwives and obstetrician I saw were assigned to me based on where I live. I'm not sure I'd want to shop around for medical staff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2026152 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:30:41 +0000 Torchwood 2026152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @buttermilk, except it's a fairly large group so they divide it into two, and you see the midwives from your half the whole time. But they try to schedule you with each of them at some point during your pregnancy so you've met them all before delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2026133 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:20:34 +0000 birdofafeather 2026133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Group of 5 OBs. The one I liked most made it to the hospital in time for delivery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2026077 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:51:49 +0000 Meridian 2026077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A group of 6 or 7 OBs in their practice. Another OB from the practice performed my C-section as she was the one who was on-call at the hospital that night. I was actually glad this particular OB was on-call , as she has a very warm, soothing personality. She made my C-section experience better than I could have imagined. My regular OB (who I really like) is very matter of fact, and not as warm and fuzzy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2026000 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:11:06 +0000 lilteacherbee 2026000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Large group of 9 OBs and 2 NPs. I saw all but one during my prenatal visits with LO. He happened to be the one they scheduled my first visit with for #2. We can request certain doctors if they're available, though (and I got to schedule the one I wanted to do my c-section). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025929 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:49:27 +0000 edelweiss 2025929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, a group. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025928 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:49:10 +0000 LindsayInNY 2025928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Group OB. I have to see all 4 OBs at some point during my pregnancy. They're all females and I really don't mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025924 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:48:34 +0000 yellowbird 2025924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! 1 midwife and 2 obs that deliver amd 2 that do not </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025916 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:46:49 +0000 MsHangry 2025916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see a midwife &amp; OB group. </p> <p>I don't know how those solo practitioners do it! Office visits, surgery, labor and delivery... makes me exhausted just thinking about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025898 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:40:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 2025898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Group of 6, however I've only ever seen the PA when she's not available. I do know she's out for my next appointment and they said I would see one of the male doctor's, which makes me a little nervous! ha I've never met him, but I know he's very good looking for an older man ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025828 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:03:10 +0000 Beehive 2025828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a group of 3 OBs. They're all lovely ladies, it was fun to get to know each of them during checkups while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025758 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:40:57 +0000 ElbieKay 2025758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started out with an OB who had three partners (so a total of four in the practice). I switched to a sole practitioner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025750 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:38:29 +0000 Mamasig 2025750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Group - 6 OBs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025617 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 14:02:18 +0000 buttermilk 2025617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see a midwife group - they encourage you to meet them all since you never know who will be on call come delivery day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025609 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 13:59:40 +0000 jetsa 2025609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. There are 19 OB's, NP's, and CNM's that cover the southern 17 counties or something. I like it but at least in this pregnancy wish I was getting more consistent care, I'd been seeing an NP and I did not realize a)she couldn't do deliveries or b)she was leaving at the end of 2014 so essentially I'm 22 weeks and have NO idea who will deliver this kid. Last time I'd seen a midwife through all our infertility and then she stuck with me through birth, she moved out of state though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025547 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 13:32:51 +0000 blackbird 2025547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A group. There are 4 OBs and 2 nurse practitioners. It's grown a lot since I started seeing her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-ob-or-midwife-part-of-a-group#post-2025545 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 13:32:00 +0000 autumnlove 2025545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a primary OB but I see other Drs, Physican Assistants and Nurse Practitioners from his team when he is unavailable. </p>
