Looks like my mw for dd2's birth is going to be away for the week leading up to my due date. Not sure what that means for me.. I know the thought of going with someone else makes me anxious tho. Anyone else had to deal with that??

Yep. My midwife goes away 2 days before my edd for a week.
It is annoying and means I need I find an alternative for that week. But she told me up front and the option of just not having her at all seemed worse to me, so I'm taking the chance and assuming I go over. Or early. Lol
For me, it's the pregnancy care that matters most to me, since that's when I tend to stress.

Thanks special. Both dh and I are very confident with our midwife and don't want to have someone else. There are other mw's who can no doubt look after us, so I think I will ask her if she is comfortable with a similar arrangement.

Did you go over with your last one Bella? Who was your midwife anyway - someone on the sunshine coast? Mary and I were talking yesterday about another midwife up there that is taking on up to 9 clients a month now (and its only her and a doula) and a few weeks ago she had 4 ladies in labour all at once so she sent some of them to the Nambour Hospital on their own to birth. I'd be bloody cranky if that happened to me I tell ya!!! Glad Mary and her other midwives take on only 4 a month.
If you not at risk of going during that time, I'd probably chance it and go with your midwife.

I'd want my deposit back. That just sucks.
