I prefer having a birth as non-interventional as possible and midwives are generally more supportive of this. If your OB is like-minded, she might be great too.</p> <p>Also midwives also generally have more time to spend with you during appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-midwife-meet-and-greet#post-2113476 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 17:02:04 +0000 wrkbrk 2113476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing helpful to add since I know next to zero about midwives :/ but just popping in to wish you luck! So exciting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-midwife-meet-and-greet#post-2113420 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 16:09:49 +0000 marionberry 2113420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would imagine that most of those answers will match your OB's. I would ask about her care philosophy, how often she does testing/ultrasounds, what her traditional labor practices are, etc. Is she a CNM? When or with what complications would she transfer care to an OB (not just during labor). Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-midwife-meet-and-greet#post-2113389 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 15:39:38 +0000 peaches1038 2113389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a meeting with the midwife who is part of my OB practice tomorrow. I am currently almost 6 weeks along and need to decide if I want to stay with my OB (who I really like) or switch to the care of the midwife ( which I always imagined doing) So, I was wondering what others have asked at this type of consultations.<br /> Things I know:<br /> - her education/background<br /> -the hospital she delivers at<br /> -who she would transfer care to in case of complications<br /> -that there is access to birthing tubs/bars</p> <p>Thanks!! </p>
