A member asked:
What's your opinion on using a midwife instead of an ob/gyn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: You need to look at the training and credentials. A certified nurse midwife has training and experience that a lay midwife will not have. Check out the website of the american college of nurse midwives (http://www.Midwife.Org) for more reliable information. Our academic department has several certified nurse midwifes on our faculty as colleagues.

I am obese (BMI 37) and on Lo Loestrin Fe. I've read that COCPs are less effective for someone like me. My OB/GYN said maybe slightly, but nothing to worry about. I would like a second opinion on that please?
