» Jojo - thanks!
Your article was extremely valid reading for me. I am 1 month away from my due date. I feel I should be doing more research and your shared experiences are really in tune with the fears I think I might develop on the big day - ie: loss of control and being 'crowded' by people and situations I was not expecting.I live remotely and there are no midwives here. However, I'm lucky to have found a doctor in the city who was originally trained as a midwife. I feel very comfortable with her, but of course I won't know what nurses are on shift when it comes time. All I can do is try to remain assertive -- let people know what I want in terms of quiet, hands-on and control over the situation. Thanks for your story.
