hi everyone
i'm after some advice on pregnancy care.
i'm 6 months pregnant, and have been seeing the same mid-wife for all my ante-natal appointments, and she will attend my birth. this has been working fine.
however, when i went to my gp clinic last month, with the flu, the gp recommended i see the pregnancy specialist gp at the same clinic, and do shared care, with my mid-wife. this sounded like a good idea - i thought maybe the gp will do more thorough tests/checking?
but after speaking to my mid-wife today, i'm not sure. there's benefits to sticking solely with my mid-wife - no fees, no checking back & forth as to who's done what test etc, no hour-long waits for appointments, and building a solid rapport with one person. my mid-wife said its up to me, but without being a doctor, i'm not sure if there'd be any benefit to seeing my gp as well as my mid-wife. If i just stick with my mid-wife, she will refer me to an obstetrician, if anything unusual happens during my pregnancy.
any advice you guys have would be appreciated,thanks
