Do plan to have a doctor or midwife?

[Vicki...]

I will probably have a doctor, but the place I go to has several doctors, and a couple midwifes, and they let you have your appointment with the midwifes as long as things are going smoothly.

Doctor...I'm high risk.

[SavaAngel]

Doctor - my insurance won't cover a midwife that I know of and I don't know of any nearby.

[MarieJ]

we don't have midwives here, so obgyn for me

[Vicki...]

just to clarify, our midwifes arn't your traditional midwifes, they are called midwifes, but see you in a doctors office, they are far more like physicians assistants, our office here is called ____Ob/gyn Associates, as there are doctors, and pa's/midwifes in the same office.

Doctor for now, but I would like to look into a midwife.

[MountainMomma]

I'll have a midwife possibly at a birthing center, but hopefully for a home birth.

I don't like hospitals, so I'm avoiding that if at all possible.
