Hi

I replied earlier that I wanted an OB because I am over 40, it would be if things work and IVF pregnancy (although I've read that shouldn't matter), and it could be a multiple pregnancy (I'd obviously know this in advance, but it would be a factor). However, I've found reading these posts interesting and informative - especially the recent one about having some follow-up visits - this is very appealing. If there was a program that combined both OB and mid-wife care, I'd definitely explore - my sister in the US had a doula and she loved it - but I have no idea how to explore this here and my Aus network is somewhat limited (I'm an American ex-pat) and I am reluctant to use anyone who doesn't come highly recommended from a "trusted source"...so I guess this leaves me ...confused!
