Im so freaking jealous! I wish we had that here!

I was 19. When I had my DS and with him I had my doctor (only doctor in my home town that did deliveries) and she was quite pushy to. And once my son was born she pawned be off on to some midwife I had never met (over here the bulk of the payment is made to who ever does the delivery)

She told me that she would be caring for me didn't ask and me being young didn't know that I could say no to alot of things that she ended up doing. Where as my mid wife is just amazing and is very big on allowing the body to do what it knows to do. And just letting nature take it's course so to speak.
My biggest advice would be to do you research and don't let them push you around

P.s when your due date I'm due 28 August
