Guilt, justice and midwives......

So I feel a little bad but after being with my OB Dr.'s office for over 6 years I think I am going to switch, that's right I'm doing a bad thing, I'm switching to a Midwife practice. I have my first MW appointment on the March 9th and depending on how it goes, it's kind of a little interview for me, I will switch. Don't get me wrong, I love my Dr. and the whole office but I don't like the protocol they have have for pregnant patients. I know it's her job to do what she does but i am looking for a more "free-spirited" if you will, approach to the whole birthing process. I wanted to switch when I was pregnant with Kaden, my second but I guess I was too chicken or something so I didn't. So, when it was my due date, she put a strict "Im only letting you go 1 week and then you're getting induced!" rule on me, which sounds fine to some people but to me, I really wanted to let my body do what it was suppose to do. Then getting to the hospital, you have to have all this unnecessary-for-the-moment stuff, which I just don't see any point in having, like having a hep-lock as soon as you get settled in, not necessary. Continuous fetal monitoring, not necessary. Just stuff like that. There is a time and a place for everything and I am not downtrodding modern-medicine, it's just it's not for me, although I will be advocating it in about 4 years when I get my RN degree, but that is also why after I get that I am becoming a certified midwife, so I can help other people like myself, who feel that medical intervention isnt always necessary.

I love mornings, sometimes, because I get to be creative and type out my blogs while my kids occupy themselves because they are in good moods because they just slept all night. I can sit and drink my tea and type my blogs or whatever while my kids play nicely with eachother and their toys, it's fun to watch them use their imaginations.
