I switched from a traditional OB to the midwives group in my 34th week of pregnancy because I was determined to have an unmedicated birth. I got what I wanted, and also a much more relaxed, comfortable experience at my appointments.
THC has a group of five midwives that rotate taking appointments and on-call for the births. I got a chance to meet all of them and was impressed with how loving they all are. I was comfortable with each of them and would have been happy with whoever ended up at my birth.
When I went into labor they went above and beyond the call to bend their rules so that I could do it without the epi. I saw them throughout the time I was in the hospital and appreciated their great attitudes and support.
