Hiya,
Just wondering how many midwives are usually on duty per shift? I'm asking because I know at least one midwife who was too anti my birth preferences (letting cord pulse etc. etc.) to be an encouragement at all when I go into labour....and I was wondering if you are allowed to politely ask for another one who is more suited to your preferences?
I have written out my birth preferences and will obviously be showing them to the midwives when I arrive to birth bubs, so perhaps they go over it and send the most suitable one in?
Anyone have any experiences in this area to share?
