Prenatal care experience

The prenatal care that I’ve been receiving in this pregnancy has been amazing. So, with this being my third child, I was lucky enough with my second child to have a midwife to provide my care. And so it was very nice to have the relationship carry over, and to have someone that I already trusted from a previous experience and who knew a lot about my background and my birth experience the last time, to begin prenatal care with her. So, I see her; she works in a team and, I trust them. I feel like they really value my perspective and my input in the choices that I want to make prenatally and regarding the birth experience, and it’s really nice to have built that relationship over years and knowing that, that they will continue to be there and to support me. With my first child I saw an obstetrician with that pregnancy, and because of having a higher risk birth this time I’ve also been lucky enough to have that obstetrician involved in my care this time, so again it’s really nice to have the continuity so somebody that’s familiar with my past experiences and who I trust to consider the best for me and my baby.
