I'd be in your shoes in this situation: wanting to know that there's a doctor just down the hall if need be, but also wanting to be able to give birth in a relaxing, supportive atmosphere. I'm sorry LMC hasn't been that supportive or interested in your care. This is important! I'll be in prayer that baby Griffin/Archer/Sullivan/Finley makes it into the world at the right place. :-)M.

It certainly sounds like an amazing place to have a birth experience, and may be way better suited to you and Oliver than LMC.Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11344624747788377400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046230754556115635.post-42540586252264500132009-09-15T11:50:44.042-04:002009-09-15T11:50:44.042-04:00As a practicing (high risk) ObGyn, my only advice ...As a practicing (high risk) ObGyn, my only advice would be to keep in mind that while a midwife says she won't let you get to "emergency status", there are many circumstances during birth that they are not adequately trained to handle. Furthermore, the center itself would likely not be equipped to address these types of situations. Certainly by that time it would not be appropriate to transport. Birthing is not about the mother's experience, but about the safety of the child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046230754556115635.post-15012988647324242452009-09-15T13:38:13.154-04:002009-09-15T13:38:13.154-04:00Great post Katie!
