Exactly, my midwife and health visitor were just as interested in me as they were the baby. I’m sure they even said it more than once because I was so focused on my daughter they reminded me they were there for me too. But what do we know, other people’s actual experiences aren’t good enough for her agendaI've never heard a midwife or doctor say all that matters is a healthy baby.
Every midwife I have been to/ spoke to has always said Mother and Baby. Not just baby
This killed me offIt's OK, we didn't like her when she wasn't pregnant, continuity and all that shit.
most of the risks are still very very low though.Their advise to not have a home birth ect when overweight ect, that's not just in the interest of the baby. It's because they see it as safer for you, as the mother. Because you are at risk of so many more things.
I'm more using that as an example as to how it's about the mother too. Not just babymost of the risks are still very very low though.
I think the highest risk is for blood clots and that’s under 10%. So still very small the grand scheme of things
She just needs to back off bashing a job she doesn’t and probably would never know how to do. My sister in law is a midwife and I can’t begin to imagine the pressure of bringing a tiny human safely into the world as well as keeping mum safe. When she’s capable of doing the job then I’ll listen to her, until then, she needs to shut her faceMidwives are always interested in Mother and Baby, it’s patient led care, their duty of care is for mother AND baby. She pees me off so much putting them down constantly like she knows everything, all because she’s been pregnant and had a baby once before. I think the chip on her shoulder comes from her wanting to do things her way, but with her bmi being in a range that medics put you as a higher risk, I’ve been in this situation myself and yeah it’s not nice being told your “high risk” that a hospital birth etc will be better for you/ you need more appts etc, if you have your heart set on something else. But as much as I know to trust my own instincts, I’m also not medically trained and will take advice from people who are, so me and my child at the time were healthy and happy. If god forbid something ever went wrong, who would she blame if she didn’t listen to medical advice, I wanted a home birth but with my high bmi at the time I couldn’t live with myself if something had have gone wrong! She needs to back off bashing those who want to care for women as much as their babies!
Can’t like this more. I want to love this 10000.She just needs to back off bashing a job she doesn’t and probably would never know how to do. My sister in law is a midwife and I can’t begin to imagine the pressure of bringing a tiny human safely into the world as well as keeping mum safe. When she’s capable of doing the job then I’ll listen to her, until then, she needs to shut her face
oh this isn’t that long yet, she’s said a few times: “I’m always telling people to count to 43 weeks as I went to 42 with Vesper” buckle in for the long haul as I think she’s really against inductions?! Although I do think she’ll go before that this time around!I can't believe shes still preggers, feels like the worlds longest pregnancy
Of course she’s against inductions, and medical intervention and advice, and just professionals in general.oh this isn’t that long yet, she’s said a few times: “I’m always telling people to count to 43 weeks as I went to 42 with Vesper” buckle in for the long haul as I think she’s really against inductions?!

Quite possibly my favourite post EVERIt's OK, we didn't like her when she wasn't pregnant, continuity and all that shit.
