Comments on: Top Ten Reasons for Choosing a Midwife Over an MD http://greenbabyguide.com/2009/03/02/choosing-a-midwife-part-3/ Earth Friendly, Budget Friendly Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:24:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Abbie http://greenbabyguide.com/2009/03/02/choosing-a-midwife-part-3/comment-page-1/#comment-2287 Abbie Wed, 04 Mar 2009 22:19:43 +0000 http://greenbabyguide.com/?p=2103#comment-2287 I am envious you were able to have a homebirth. My first son has a kidney defect, and my daughter was a premie birth because of an unforseen abrupted placenta. Both are very healthy now. Since I had such a hard time finding a midwifery group that was covered by my insurance, I am eager to read your next article about searching for services. Would you include how to navigate the insurance part as well? And of course, just love your blog! Thanks for all the wonderful articles and info! I am envious you were able to have a homebirth.

Seemed like a plan to just plan on having it at home, rather than the other family options of car, sidewalk, in between the double doors of the hospital...... My midwife showed up in less than 20 min! Yippee! I got to be the first of my sibs to actually have an attended birth! LOL

This sounds so wonderful. What an amazing place this sounds like. I love that there is such wonderful followup care. You'd never find that with a traditional dr or hospital that's for sure. Wow!
