A few weeks ago someone posted asking if people prefer midwives or DR's for pregnancy care (Daniele maybe? I'm too lazy to look back).
Anyways, I posted that I had a bad experience with the midwife at my practice. Well today I met the other midwife. I was really hesitant to meet with her because of my experience with the other one. I'm so glad I saw the second one today though! She was so awesome! She took so much time to explain things to me. She really answered all my questions a lot more in depth than anyone else there has and really just seemed so sincere. I felt like I could tell her anything and that she truly cared about me and the baby (I get that feeling from most the DR's too, but it was just different with her...more personal I guess and not so much "clinical").
My favorite part was when we listened to the baby's heartbeat, she actually talked to the baby in a really soft voice calling him by his name and everything. Made me tear up, because DH and I don't even talk to the baby, so it was so awesome having someone look at my belly and talk to him and call him by his name.
Re: So that's why so many of you like midwives!!
