OB or midwife

[thuddleston911]

Hello everyone! So I am pregnant with my second child and I was wondering what you chose as far as a midwife or an OB? And why? I am very interested in a midwife but I don't know much about it.

I have a midwife. She's more of a doctor that likes more natural remedies.
Natural remedies for nausea, pain, etc. She will give too natural birth advice, etc since that osnwhat she specializes in,
However she will still give.medication, etc, advise for epidural, water births etc.

In all honesty there isn't.much of a difference between the two

I had an OB for my first pregnancies- my last two we had a midwife.  I loved the OB experience when I had a good one, but we had a horrible delivery with one of our kids and that caused us to go looking.  The midwife was awesome!  They listen to you, teach you to listen to your body and communicate- I wouldn't trade our experience with a midwife for anything.  Just like an OB though, there can be good ones and bad ones- either way, the key is going somewhere that you feel safe, feel listened to, and feel like they have time for you.  Good luck!
