Midwife, OB or family doctor?
Any Questions? A Podcast About Conception, Pregnancy and Realistic MotherhoodShow Notes
When it comes to choosing care during your pregnancy, the options (at least where I live) are midwife, OB (obstetrician) or family doctor. So which to choose?
In this episode, I explain how I came to choose a midwife, why I like the midwifery model of care and how my first appointment at my midwife clinic went. I also dispel some common myths about midwives!
Ultimately, you should choose a healthcare practitioner who makes you feel safe and comfortable. I hope this episode helps if you're considering a midwife!
