[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who first brought up how unfairly OBs are demonized, and listed my own great OB practice on this page. I think if a midwife can help you achieve the birth you want, that's great- just as great as if an OB can help you achieve that, or a doula. But my original point was everyone seems to think that OBs are these judgmental a-holes who exist only to make you feel bad about your pregnancy and your choices and to make you feel stupid if you choose to have a natural childbirth or try to make you feel as though you can't "handle" one. In my experience, this is not true, but from the many Wisdom threads I've read on this board, the Wisdom midwives, and this Whitney in particular, DO have a habit of making women feel "not good enough" for their practice, or "not good" at pregnancy, or as if they're failing in some way because they can't make their bodies exactly here to Wisdom's idea of the perfect pregnancy. It's just interesting to me how much heat OBs get when the Wisdom midwives seem, frankly, just as bad as the worst OBs. [/quote]
