This is my first pregnancy and I am so excited. I’ve been reading the books downloaded the app and even submitted the waitlist form for daycare as I heard to apply as early as possible.
I only applied to one midwife group, and did so right after the positive test. Today I received an email that I have been placed on the waitlist. I never even considered that there would be waitlists for midwives. And I’m only just now realizing you have to apply to multiple in your area for the hope you will be accepted by one. 17000 woman stay on that waitlist per year in Ontario according to google and I am stressed.
I never wanted to go to an OB but I have now asked my family doctor for a referral as I know I’ll need the prenatal care.
I’m posting this so that if you didn’t know about the waitlists now you do and apply for all of them in your area. (If you get in to one, ensure you remove yourself from the other waitlists).
I’ve read that you have a chance of getting off the waitlist around week 13 as some woman discover they have multiples. Does anyone else have experience with this? I may just be worrying as I am a planner and I never considered not having a midwife.
