I had an awesome midwife & for that am very grateful, as DH wasn't as good as I had expected. He was so very overwhelmed by the entire experience too & was trying his best. But it was the midwife that kept me on track & knew all the little tricks to keep me as comfortable as possible. As I was induced it was full on from the beginning. She also had an awesome personality & as it was a small country hosp, I got her undivided attention. I cant speak highly enough of her & the hospital, not to mention my Doc! She even came to see me the next day.
