I like my MW, my mum also had her aswel when she was pregnant with me, al; tho yesterday when I went, I wasn't impressed that she spoke freely on the phone to another MW about a lass I was at school with not knowing how to breast feed even mentioning her name.
Hope she doesn't do that about me in front of a patient! She seemed to rush me last week, but this week was much nicer

She's a horror. She wrote her number in the front of my notes because she had to, and then told me to never ever bother her because she can't help me!

I've been so blessed with my Ob/Gyn clinic. They deliver at one of the best hospitals in my state and the nurses and "most" of the doctors are fab! Really happy with them for over 7 yrs.

My regular MW is very nice a bit dappy and jokes about something every 5 minutes but at least she makes me feel comfortable.
The MW's at the hospital are all a bit detached and aloof and make you feel like you are in a production line. They answer in a short way and make me feel like Im asking a stupid question. I cant wait to get out of there to be honest. The sonograhers were also like this, they dont like to get involved and pack you in and out quick.
Its nice if you can build up a relationship with a friendly one

That's very similar to my schedule. In our trust, FTMs have appointments for the following weeks, I believe:
8
-- 12-week scan (at hospital) --
16
-- 20-week scan (at hospital) --
25
28
31
34
36
38
40
41

So far I've had three midwife appointments (8, 16, and I had a blood draw at 17 weeks because of some mix up at the lab) and I've seen three different midwives. They've all been lovely to be honest, I don't have any complaints about them personally. However, I don't feel like they're very accessible outside of my usual appointments. We can phone their office between half-eight and half-nine in the morning on weekdays, I think, and speak to a midwife if we can manage to get through (I've tried for half an hour straight with no luck before). Not very helpful if I have an urgent problem any later in the day!

So personally, my midwives are fine. They're very friendly and attentive when I'm sat right in front of them. But if I had any complications or concerns, I wouldn't have any way to contact them, and I'd have to phone L&D instead. Not really an ideal situation for anyone involved.
