So much more personal, but mostly, the belief midwives have in women's bodies is amazingly encouraging! <br /><br />I also recommend reading Ina May's Guide to Childbirth if you haven't all ready. The first half of the book is filled with encouraging natural birth stories, and the second half of the book is just reaffirmation of the capabilities of a woman's body. I've read the book so many times, and I find myself rereading the positive childbirth stories with every pregnancy. Natural childbirth is truly a gift that unfortunately to many women never get the knowledge and encouragement to experience!<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281203515894499485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484736612815333772.post-52605440013045454992013-09-24T13:58:35.431-06:002013-09-24T13:58:35.431-06:00I love this sweetheart!

Everybody's pregnancies are different and everyone has their own reasons for whom they decide to see. I like getting opinions and perspectives from those who chose to go with an OB as well! I am glad we have several options to chose from! I hadn't heard very good things about the OBs in Farmington...you are the third person I've spoken to who had horrible experience! Claudia was actually the one who recommended the midwifery here in Farmington :) Leah Neergaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263301653811190054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484736612815333772.post-8237693034299440752013-09-24T10:42:20.045-06:002013-09-24T10:42:20.045-06:00Im so glad you didnt go with dr fishers office!! C...Im so glad you didnt go with dr fishers office!! Claudia went with the midwifes as well and i chose an ob\gyn in durango after three appointments with dr fisher. They were terrible to me especially the receptionist! And after the first time meeting the dr (getting my medical history) i didnt see him until the last time i went he came in checked a few things on me thrn left. He didnt look or even speak to me. Seeing as it was baby number 2 i knew that THAT was unacceptable. Not to mention i had a 600 dollar bill after they told me i was completely covered. So i went all the way to durango! And i LOVED LOVED LOVED them and the hospitol and the dr who delivered lucy (dr roach) he was soooo funny lol but that is definately a brave choice! I have preeclampsia high bloodpressure toxemia all this nasty stuff with my first pregnancy so the midwives recommended i see an actual obgyn. Luckily lucys pregnancy was a breeze!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372514069298704064noreply@blogger.com
