Karina, that is really disappointing to hear, especially seeing how much you enjoyed the other 2. I think next weeks class for us is more parent craft. I can't comment on it as I obviously haven't had it yet but the same midwife runs the class and she gives very neutral advise, she won't commit one way or another as she feels it is our decision as long as we are fully informed. If only all midwifes fels that way - I would be very happy to walk in when in labour and have her as my midwife (so would DH). I agree, the use of the dolls in the way seems very inappropriate, what a bizarre woman. She sounds very old school, unfotunately they are still out there.

Kiki, I also read your husbands post and was very angered regarding what happended to you. I also work in health (paramedic) and was a nurse and am all too familiar on what patients and realtives can do and say to make your job harder, or in your unfortuntate case, end it. People can be manipulative and it is, unfotunately, human nature to blame someone else when something doesn't go the way they want it to. unfortunately, you have been the scapegoat of this. From the sounds of things you are the type of midwife that should be teaching antenatal classes and i hope that it can be sorted out so you can get back to what you love to do.
