[quote=Anonymous]I delivered with the midwives at WHC and I ended up getting induced and needing a c-section, and I still had a great experience! I felt listened to, supported, and really well taken care of. The midwives were there for the c-section, they did everything except place the spinal block and perform the surgery. I could have had the same experience with an OB, but I'm going with the midwives again. The WHC midwives specifically are very nonjudgmental- if you want an epidural- great, going for an unmedicated birth- great, they're supportive either way. I just wanted to share the perspective that the midwife route isn't just about avoiding a c-section (which very well may be the thing that saves you and you baby's life!) For me, it was about feeling supported and listened to, which a good OB would do as well, but I think is more "core" to a midwifery practice. [/quote]
