[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I'll buck the trend here and say, go with a midwife. Midwifery is a tradition in this country that was perfected and kept alive by African-American women. In fact some of the most impressive statistics for maternal morbidity ever were from AA midwives - even with fewer resources they provided better care than white OBs from same time period. I've had 4 kids, and in my experience my midwives (at 4 different practices) were incredibly attentive and focused on my pain, experience and safety. Midwives actually listen and they are willing to spend time with you. This board tends to be anti-midwife, but I encourage you to consult with a midwife. I am UMC and a well-educated professional, and I feel strongly that midwives are a safer choice.[/quote] Midwife + doula for the win. https://www.mamatotovillage.org/#!birth-doula/c1t0l[/quote]
