Making the Switch – May 7, 2012
So for me, making the switch from OB to midwife was easy. I started with internet searches viewing profiles and web pages of midwives
and also spoke with some real women who “had been there done that”. Once I
found the one that I wanted to meet we set up the appointment. She sat down
with Brad and I and we just let her have it with all the questions and
concerns. She provided us with a folder with all the information we needed
including a helpful spiral of all the things from what supplements to take to
birth and after birth. I felt so comfortable when leaving there that I asked
her the very next day to schedule me an appointment and run my insurance. A few
days later she called me and said that I owe her a whopping $25 for the entire
birth. I just knew this was my sign from God that this was the true decision
for us. So we scheduled for our first appointment for May 7, 2012 with Amanda
at Beautiful Beginnings. After my first appointment with Amanda I was convinced that this was the way best for us. I understand unforeseen events and
that this is an unpredictable process, but
Amanda assured us that she will monitor and keep me and baby safe throughout the birth process. She was very soothing and confident and it in
turn trickled down over us and even Brad felt better about moving forward with
this process.
