Can everyone please help me out with questions I should be asking my MW.
I think of some and write them down but half the time I'm thinking I won't be asking enough- like I've forgotten some things. Can you please let me know what questions you were asking your MW's... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Well, she should be talking you through a birth plan sometime soon... that usually brings up a whole lotta questions.
I don't think I really asked my midwife many questions. Just read stuff on here which pretty much answered most queries!!! I think she was worried that I wasn't concerned enough

| P.S. Questions come up as you are talking with MW too... don't be too worried if you have nothing to ask. |

If you're writing them down as you think of them Stevie, you're doing well and will probably be asking her more questions than those of us going in there without a list! Good on ya. ------------- Andie |

Yep I agree! Always have a pen and paper in your bag for those "ohh I need to ask the MW..." moments. If you're anything like me I forget what I wanted to ask her by the time I found the pen and paper! LOL------------- http://lilypie.com">

my midwife is really good, she is so full of info that whatever I am about to ask she usually pre-empts...but I guess just the whole birthplan thing is important, other than that not sure...? ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

I carry a diary round... and every time I think of a question to ask my midwife, I write it on the date page for my next appointment. That way I don't lose my bits of paper! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

I use a diary too and put in any questions I have. A couple you might want to ask her could be
- who will be in the room (medical staff wise) - who will make the decision to move you if you need a c section (I think you said you will have to move if you need one) - pain relief options - what you need to pack for you and baby, what does the hospital supply for baby - when should you ring her if you thing labour might be starting - birthing plan of course - if all goes to plan will baby stay with you all the time or what happens if baby needs to go to neonatal. Hmmm thats all I can think of at the moment and lots of this will come up in conversation but gives you an idea I hope. |
