22 weeks into it

I had another midwife visit today, all is ok so far. I found out that now she is only using the LV hospital. She was getting complaints from women who birthed at St. Luke's also. Apparently they are not very midwife friendly and are taking it out on the women using a midwife. That happens. If the staff changes they could go back to being normal again, you never know. Nurses play a big part in how you are treated in the hospital, if they feel women using a midwife instead of a doctor is an insult then they treat you with distain. (I have actually read of cases where they purposely withhold pain medication or perform painful proceedures on women without anesthesia to "punish" them for thinking they didn't need a doctor, or a hospital, or just for having different ideas about how they want to birth.)
