I met with the midwife for the first time yesterday and really like her. Our midwife last time was fully competent, but very clinical and business like. Cathy, the new midwife, is the touchy-feely earth-mama that I am really drawn to, and i am excited to learn as much as I can about birth from her. She was a nurse for 25 years in the medical field, but 10 years ago left because she had little to no contact with patients in the HMO system (in, out, no time for talking). She gives two hours for each appointment, and comes to the house, takes our insurance and is just all around pretty awesome. She is going to Tibet this year as a supervising midwife for a community education program for women, and I kind of want to be her when I grow up. haha.
