Thanks xx In my heart I know she has made the right choice for me given that I didn't seem to be making it. But it still hurts to be dumped! And it's an odd experience for me to start with a midwife so late in the pregnancy, but it will work out for the best.

From my previous feeler emails I know there are two possible MWs that may work out for me and I have heard back from one of them so far and have an appointment lined up for next week. At least I'm not so busy with so much other stuff in my life now and I can focus on just this and have the time to meet them both and make the right choice.
