Just for 2 seconds can we focus on the big breakthrough in womens maternity care

This sounds like a great improvement. I have Kyson in a private hospital and while my Ob was fantastic, I never once saw a midwife until I was in labour. It would have been nice to have known the people that were going to be with me while I was birthing my son, rather than a couple of strangers. That's not to say they weren't great, because they were, but it would have been nice to have known them beforehand.

krystieLove, I sooo know what you mean. Especially considering the OB only pops in from time to time and then re-appears for the actual birth.
