Midwives are always interested in Mother and Baby, itās 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 sheās 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, Iāve been in this situation myself and yeah itās not nice being told your āhigh riskā 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, Iām 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 didnāt listen to medical advice, I wanted a home birth but with my high bmi at the time I couldnāt 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!
