So we had our first home midwife visit . So so awesome , kids invlolved nice and relaxing
Very different to sitting in a waiting room for 2 hours! Then an in/out 5 min visit .
An hour and 1/2 later still chatting away . I wish I could go back in time! And do this for my other babies.

Yep! The home visits rock!! Home visits are not the norm here- it's mostly office visits! I've culled quite a few MWs because they're not prepared to do home visits as an option. To me they are one of the big benefits of home birthing. Those chats are wonderful and relaxing with the big kids milling around in their own space.

So, I met two MWs this week and loved them. Ugh! How to choose?? I keep flip-flopping. I'm lucky to have choice but I wish it was more obvious. I think I'm nervous after my past experience and keep second guessing it all too.
