    Smile I have had Midwifery-led care

    My second child was born in RBWH through the Peguses program it is not a Birth center which I find out this week if have gotten in to that for my third child. The Peguses Group is All midwives.. I saw a Doctor once, then a group of ten midwives.. So when the time came for me to give birth, I went to the labor rooms and was not introduced to a stranger but one of those ten midwives I had seen in outpatients.. I felt it was a very good medium between the birth center and a doctor present. The only time a Doctor is called is if there is a real emergency the same as if you were in the Birth Center.. You do have to get into these groups early but at least you have more of a chance of having your baby your way...

    Oh I forgot that for the main part one of those ten midwives also looks after you on the ward.. They do rotations between the out patients, Labor Ward and Maternity Ward... One day I had the Woman that Birthed my Daughter look after me in the ward.. We had a good time chatting about how quick she came
