Switching to a midwife

I started with an OB and transitioned to a private midwife. Night and day really, the midwife spends waaaay more time with me, asks me way more questions, I feel more respected and supported, and she helps me to feel confident and empowered in my ability to birth. Midwives also consistently facilitate better birth outcomes with fewer interventions and better maternal satisfactions for low risk pregnancies than OBs do in research.

I’m a FTM and have been seeing a midwife. I love them. My mom came with me to an appointment and told me she was awesome and very personable. I feel comfortable asking my questions and not just like a doctor goes in and out to the next patient.
