We actually only interviewed one IM and were happy with her. Also, she lives around the corner. But it's probably smart to interview more than one. Also, sort out the payment plan ahead of time. We're paying $700 a month until it's paid ($4300 inc 2 IM's at the birth). Hopefully, PHI will give me the rebate I'll be asking for - just need to send off the letter. They were having issues with paying out after 30 June due to the whole midwife legality debarcle.
