OBGYN v. Midwife [The Hilariously True Appointment Comparison]
These times are exact and typical for each caregiver. OBGYN Appointment: 7/27/11 MW Appointment: 7/28/11 EDD 10/19/11 My husband actually laughed out loud a few times during this video… I hope regardless of your homebirth/hospital preference you appreciate this (-; I am not trying to favor one over the other but simply state what happened at each time with each care giver.

So true! Sometimes with the OB it wasnt even worth sitting down.
With my homebirth MW we could be chatting an hour later – maybe about birth, or maybe about other stuff.
Its so important to have that rapport, sense of safety and no power imbalance. Makes it much easier to have that person peering up your bum and to trust them when you’re most vulnerable.
I’d only have a female birth worker now. Unless I needed medical help, in which case i wouldnt care.
@dw9559 500 babies a year? A single mother of five? I’m sorry, but that sounds implaussible. Ina May Gaskin, the famous American midwife, has assisted in around 2,000 births in her 40-year-long career as a midwife… and hers is pretty much the busiest practice in the country.
@ttcMandyT In Puerto Rico, I’ve known to wait up to 4 HOURS for the Ob-gyn to show up for a five minute meeting with him. Ridiculous! I changed doctors and the one who delivered my baby gave appointment times and usually I was already in his office after a twenty-minute wait or less…
He would talk with us, ask questions about pregnancy, talk about everyday things, and he would take his time to answer any question I had. He had a couple of nurse-midwives in his practice at the time.
3 minutes? Really?… American doctors
When it comes to appointments, this video is pretty much completely accurate! Whether or not you think OB’s or Midwives are better in other ways is beyond the scope of the video, but, my friend had an OB and ended up with interventions that lead to Csection. Her second birth she got a hospital midwife with good stats and had a completely natural labor without even meaning to. She said her experience was so different, and better, with her midwife.
@4411baby How is that possible?! This video PROVES that midwifes are SOOO much better than OBGYNs! You must be mistaken. I’d check the credentials, because OBGYN’s are taught in residency to be cold, cruel, and only willing to slash open your uterus with a blade.
@ajdewdrop Of course they are trained so, but not every midwife is the same, just like not every OBGYN is the same. A woman in my community I lived in 10 years ago had a disastrous home birth where there was a delay in getting the mother to the hospital – the mother needed a hysterectomy to control her bleeding and the child was born and now has developmental delays. If I made a video of this, would that be an honest, responsible way to portray the entire home birthing/midwifery system? No way.
@DreamfinderFig And if an abruption started, the midwife would know to transport. My midwife transported my sister for preeclampsia. I trust her judgment, and she knows when it’s out of her skill range. We’re 7 minutes from a hospital, and the midwife has skills to help make that transport happen more safely. But placental abruption in labor is RARE when you don’t have a lot of pitocin on board. Not impossible, but rare.
100% accurate.
I had a midwife for my first, and it was awesome!
Wonderful! definitely re-affirms me decision the receive care from midwives for both of my pregnancies so far, and hoping to attend school to become a midwife.
it is what exactly happens i am OBGYN,now childbirth educator ,I fully agree with this video.
38 minutes seems bad but in Canada the wait in the OBs office is often over an hour from the scheduled appointment, no joke! i’ve even heard friends who had to wait 2 hours….also for about a 5 minute visit! crazy!
@MalibuKittyCat someone’s panties are in a bunch. I won’t resort to cussing and name calling though. Have a nice day
Who will be attending your birth if your midwife is attending another birth ? Are there a few of them that work together ?
Haha, my sister’s midwife sent her a link to you video and she then shared it with me. I replied back and told her I’d been watching you for years and had already seen it!
Just though you’d want to know it’s getting around in the midwife community. Good job!
I have my midwife’s cell phone number, and we text all the time about anything….even though my baby is now 4 months old! Love my midwife! Did I mention that she cooked me breakfast while I nursed the baby in bed after my homebirth? Rock on!
@DreamfinderFig no, that’s why a midwife works with OB backups and is trained to know when things are not normal anymore. midwives and OBs can and often do work together to reduce mortality and also morbidity. but we need to do it far more in the US. the US is far behind most other developed countries for infant mortality. let’s learn from most other developed countries who have midwives as the standard of care.
Last night, my midwife talked to me all about bringing home a new baby to a dog and then after her story apologized for taking up MY time. Can you imagine an OB doing this? Certainly not! I love midwives
@InformationMommy I wish you could too! I had a midwife and an epidural in a hospital, and it was amazing!
My midwifes were like your OBGYN.
great video! we only see midwives over here so dont know any different, i hate waiting so would be furious at waiting that long!
my first doctor was like that my second when i just had my son in april was so different ( and he was part of a bigger hospital then the first) i would be in and out in like 15 min waiting and all.. He was never late for his appoitments, he played with my daughter and talked to me and listen to me and my concernes.. i wanted to havea vbac and he supported it 100% , i never got it becuase my labor never progressed and i chose to have a csection an diam glad i did becuase my uterus was extra thin
@MalibuKittyCat If she (heaven forbid) gets a placental abruption and starts bleeding to death, maybe the midwife can hug it better.
Respond to this video… She didn’t fabricate it, but she instilled it with bias and her manufactured conclusion. The doctor’s office could have had a cool fishtank in it for her son to play with, but she was going to focus on her toe tapping. I’m not invalidating her experience – I just don’t think it’s an MD vs. midwife issue. It’s a different office setup and different care-giving styles. To pin the difference on the diploma on the wall is irresponsible, but makes her desired point.
