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.
