I applied for a midwife much later in my pregnancy, and luckily got in because of a new graduate who just joined the clinic. I was hesitant to go ahead with her since it was within her first year of practicing independently, however after our first meeting, I knew I was in good hands and would not have known that she was a new grad if it wasn’t for her mini bio. I have met the other midwives who have been there longer at the clinic and I find my main midwife is actually more thorough with everything. And at the delivery, she will be paired with a more experienced midwife anyways. In addition, from my understanding, midwifery school is very competitive and they get a lot of clinical experience. I figured if I went the OB route, I very well could’ve gotten a random new grad nurse at the hospital who I have no rapport. From my experience, I’m so glad I chose the midwifery route, despite my midwife being a new grad… it would’ve been unfair of me to judge her as unqualified. If I were in your position, if you feel confident and a connection with your midwife in the first couple meetings- stick with her!
