Ok I am just going to go out on a whim here and "assume" that everyone that hires a Midwife to assist them through their growth into a motherhood, is either ready and willing to learn or already has a pretty good idea of the responsibility it takes to make that decision.
I cant tell you how shocked I am to be sitting here writing this realizing how many women want their Midwife to do all the work for them to grow their baby. Dont get me wrong. Midwives are amazing at HELPING you through your pregnancy, birth and Postpartum period. They are great at giving advice and keeping an eye out for possible complications that can occur. But when you sit there and tell your midwife that she didnt tell you HOW to hydrate yourself, after she talked to you time and time again how JUST water isnt enough. You need to make sure you have proper sea salt intake to give you the right electrolytes to get and keep you hydrated. This is were YOU as the mother take the responsibility to refill your water when it is empty and to salt your food to taste. Such a small example in the big scheme of things, but if you cant do this simple task for your health and especially YOUR baby's health and you are not willing to hear anything from your midwife. Nor are you willing to take that responsibility on yourself, than maybe you should hire a doctor and you should have your baby in the hospital.
Homebirth and Healthy pregnancy and birth is not a joke or a contest people! No one can do this for you! If you cant take care of yourself than Dont get pregnant. Your baby doesnt have any other choice but for you to take care of her or him. How dare you put that in anyones hands but your very own!!
