Hi everyone, I am tentatively stepping in here. I am in the TWW but i am trying to decide what to do when (if) i get my BFP. I have had a HB for #2 and will have another but we intend on leaving where we are about the time I might be due, I have a midwife willing to come be with me where ever i am for the birth but i cant have her for my antenatal care as she wont be qualified until the end of the year. So i dont know how i should go about having someone for simply my antenatal care. I am not sure i would want my previous mw again as so much has changed and my m/w requirements are different not as they were 6 yrs ago.
DH isnt being particularly helpful..
I need the piece of paper to be able to claim it on private health.
and for other legal reasons why i wont ask her to provide care for me until she is registered.
Glorious- I agree with hoti... I don't think your MW's knowledge will change much just after she becomes qualified so I'd be happy to have her do antenatal care if you're happy to have her at the birth. Perhaps you could organise to see an already qualified MW for a few visits through the pregnancy for a bit of a qualified 'sanity check' if that would help? Perhaps just make arrangements to see someone on a pay-by-appointment casual check up deal, rather than a whole pregnancy & birth care deal.
