[quote=Anonymous]Not advocating either way, but I also switched around 20 weeks for my 1st, and at 36 weeks for my 2nd!  (Not by choice; we moved across the country and it was necessary.)  I had no issues either time - in both cases, my primary OB/Midwife was not necessarily going to be the one to deliver me, and with both deliveries, I had never seen the OB/Midwife who was on-call.  It may be different if you have established a very close rapport with your OB, but I think it is definitely possible.  The first time around, I switched from an OB to a Midwife for the reasons you stated in your original post.  I had a wonderful natural birth in a hospital setting (in Boston).  It was an extremely slow night in the hospital and the nurse on duty ended up basically being my doula.  She stayed with me the whole time and was so encouraging.  I did not choose to have a doula the second time around, but really wished I had.  Having unconditional, unwavering support throughout you birth by someone who knows you and knows your desires is really invaluable.  All the best to you![/quote]
