When I went to the hospital with pre-term contractions in my 24th week, she didn't even come in and check me, left it to a nurse who admittedly didn't know what was going on with me to cause the contractions. In my opinion, the midwife should have at least come in and talked to me herself rather than handling it over the phone and then sending me home still contracting and with no idea why. They're fortunate some of my friends online were able to figure out what was going on - from talking to me and asking questions! - and things didn't end much worse for myself and my son.
I was unfortunate enough to run across her again when rushed to the hospital losing blood just before my due date. She thought that an appropriate time to argue with me over trivial things while I'm laying there scared out of my mind and they haven't been able to find my son's heartbeat yet to even determine if he's still alive in there. I refused to engage in the argument, and a few moments later she was having a different argument with a tech who came in, again over something not at all necessary to have out right then when she should have been paying attention to the patient and the emergency at hand. Nurses discovered that the bleeding wasn't labor and I was promptly turned over to another doctor - thank god!
My son and I survived, but I really can't credit her with that. If it was possible to give her less than one star, I would.
