[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Almost hate to respond as it will likely revive the OB v midwife battle.  However I felt that those of you that were thoughtful enough to post helpful responses deserved a follow up.

First, I'd like to clarify that I LOVED delivering with the gw midwives.  I truly believed they and the midwifery model of care saved me from what many OBs would have seen as a c section.  Especially given the time lapse between my water breaking and delivery. During delivery, I felt like all interventions and possibilities were discussed with me and I felt heard. This is why I want to remain with this practice.

At my appointment, I was told you are our patient and we will do what needs to be done when the time comes (re epi/whatever).  In the meantime, we discussed several things I can do to improve my chances of having an unmedicated birth (ie trying in advance to address issues that hindered me during my last delivery.

So in short, I will stay with the midwives at GW and there was no hesitation on their part about overseeing the pregnancy and birth of my second.[/quote]
