I'm so frustrated right now I'm nearly in tears. I have a few friends who are midwives, so I guess I made the wrong assumptions about the availability of midwives where I live. I've called 4 clinics to try to find a midwife, I'm on 2 waiting lists, and the other two haven't called me back. Beyond that, I'm too far out of the catchment areas for other clinics, so it's these 4 (only two of which are technically my area), or going my regular doctor route.

DH and I started talking about the possibility of a homebirth, so not having a midwife takes that entirely off the table for us. I'm SO disappointed right now. I didn't realize that I needed to call for a midwife before I called my own doctor for goodness sakes!!!! Ugh I'm just so frustrated!

Okay vent done, I just needed to have a pity party for a second. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the other two, but at this point, I'm really not optimistic about it
