The woman I saw (not a midwife but a MEDwife) didn't even look at me when she walked in the room, but stood with her back to me asking me questions off a piece of paper. She proceeded to assure me that I would have access to epidurals or any other modern convenience, never bothering to ask what kind of birth experience I was interested in. When I declined a pelvic, she was totally incensed, stating that she'd never had a patient refuse in her 27 years of experience. She couldn't pick up a heartbeat (I was 11 weeks), and didn't believe me when I assured her I had heard it the day before on my own doppler. In the end, I told her I'd like to look around a little before rescheduling, and she went off on me, ranting about how I didn't trust her. On walking out, the girl at the front desk said she didn't think I'd be allowed back! That's when I started planning my homebirth! First son came early and was born in the hospital, but last summer I had a my second son at home with a wonderful MIDwife, and it was beautiful.Adelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751927326759170775noreply@blogger.com
