[quote=Anonymous]I picked a CNM working out of a hospital for my first baby 11 years ago, and am so thankful that I did. She had decades of experience and promoted low-intervention birth with medical backup as necessary. Our prenatal appointments were personal and not rushed. I was able to email with her in the last couple weeks when I had concerns about Braxton Hicks contractions and whether I was in labor. She coached me through a long and difficult labor. We made a couple interventions but avoided a c-section. I will always be so thankful for her. My second baby was a breeze and I used the same practice of CNMs - I got to see my original CNM a few times but by then her practice had expanded to include several others. So on my second baby's birth it was the "on call" CNM but I lucked out with a very easy birth that time. [/quote]
