I went through my local hospital, but in a program where I was looked after the one midwife and a backup. I had them both all through my pre-natal care, one was with me through my entire labour (well once I went to hospital) and then they alternately came to visit me at home for two weeks after the birth. I had complications and an ob came in to help get DS out (cord wrapped around his neck twice constricting the cord with each contraction and not letting him progress) in the end, but my midwife did a wonderful job monitoring me and keeping me informed and calm throughout it all.

I'm in the same program again with this bub and wouldn't have it any other way, but knowing that the OB will be nearby is a reassurance to me.
