Ambot lang kaha kung lisud ba manganak, haven't tried hehe. Pero kung walay doctor mu-attend sa imong delivery, means you're good. No complications ikaw ug imo baby. Mutawag na sila doctors kung di na nila ma-handle ba.. Unless, ganahan jud ka nga naay private OB. Otherwise, midwives are very competent sa pag deliver ug pag-atiman sa mga baby. They do everything from birth to discharge! Pati home care, mu-bisita pa man gani na sila. Pati feeding, tabangan ka nila unsaon!!

Swerte swerte ra jud if maka kuha buotan na midwife na mu angay ka sa batasan.. If not.. No choice.
Ayaw jud sugot birthing center lng or home birth.
Nadine... Di jud ko ganahan midwife. i can tell u horror stories about midwives. Grabeh ka dako sa scope sa ilang practice but not the years of experience or theory to back it up. You know pwdi sila mu intubate ug newborn sa birthing center? But ilang gi bag stomach diay toh .. D lungs! Brain hypoxia 30 minutes before abot ambulance! Kusog pa jud kaayo ang uban mu gamit forceps diri. If i have a baby here.. I am saving 4000aud for an obstetrician plus extra for a private hospital.
Im sure there are good midwives but i dont want that gamble... It is not what we are used to and i would prefer a doctor jud bisag birth is a natural process.. We know dghan kaayo things tht can go wrong.

Hala sah. Kabalo ko, naay uban nurses dili mag intubate kay mahadlok sa legal repercussions. Amo mga midwife diri ospital di man gani ang uban muhatag tambal kay masayop unya kuno sila! Hinuon, naa may neonatal resus program. Matudluan ra man bisan kinsa mag intubate ug baby.
The thing about midwife is, ideal jud na sila if you and your baby are both normal. No fuss man gud sila. Plus, naay personal touch. And they will be with you all the way!
Unlike sa doktor, daghan kaayo makita dili mao uy hehehe. Gadali pa jud pirmi !!! But mao lagi pud. If you happen to have complications, mas maayo na lang jud kung OB. BUT, if a pregnant woman has complications, they are mandated man to refer to OB and Pedia right away.
I agree, ayaw jud panganak sa balay. Not in australia. Lagyo diri ang mga balay. If ever kinahanglan ug medical intervention, unya layo pa, faets jud. Also, mas maayo jud kung tertiary center. Kanang naa completo ba dayon, di na kinahanglan tranport pa. Kabalo jud ko anang retrieval or transport. Less than ideal jud na.
P.S. Uso jud forceps diri. Ambot ngano.

@li_i_ren and @Nadine, salamat sa discussion! ganahan ko kay at least ma point out unsa pros and cons of having midwife and OB. Actually I had bad experiences with OBs na, especially sa Pinas. Akong OB sa akong first child was the best kuno, karaang damang. to diay, gi kwartahan ra mi ug gi dali dali ko. hmp! mao sige nako research ron, I'm leaning towards natural birthing na jud, hoping I could do a VBAC there. But I'm not too sure if I can do Lamaze with my husband kay September ko muabot unya December akong EDD. Huhuhu
