[quote=Anonymous]Honestly? I went with Physicians & Midwives because there's an office near me and they have Saturday appointments, and I didn't have a strong feeling about the midwife v. doctor decision. I believe the standard there is that a midwife generally delivers (in a hospital) and a doctor is assigned to you as well for if the doctor is needed. Prenatal care is whoever you make appointments with. For prenatal care I saw a mix of midwives, NPs, and OBs. A midwife delivered. I really didn't get a sense of differences in care or approach. I had a relatively easy pregnancy and birth. It's possible differences would have been more pronounced if I had had complications. [/quote]
