They hold a nurse practitioner of midwifery degree (which is a Master's degree) and have undergone further extensive training with the OBs at my hospital. They are midwives but have been trained by OBs. It's like the best of both worlds. 4 out of the 6 midwives hold PhD's.

The midwives don't have as big of case loads like the OBs do. They can actually stay with you the whole time, or pretty close to it anyway. I love their director, he's a family friend of mine, but he's do dang busy and is only there to catch the baby. There is so much more that happens prior to that, that I feel is much too much for a nurse to deal with. However, I am blessed with quick labors and deliveries so my experience may not necessarily be the norm.

Srg I have done them. I did them with ds1 because I went into labor at 34w but it was stopped. I've never had it done with any others even my 35 weeker was just fine without them and didn't require oxygen. If you live close to the hospital they're not bad but you have to have them all within a short window and it was a pain in the butt for me "literally" [emoji23] they kinda hurt. I'm doing weekly progesterone shots right now. Why would he not do these if he's expecting you to deliver early? Ahhh never mind I see now c section. Did your last baby require oxygen?

Ash, my last baby didn't need oxygen, but my heart baby had lung issues too and he was born at 39 weeks. I think my doc is just trying to be overly cautious. He was talking about a study he read and said that the steroids won't hurt anything, so it might be a good idea to do them.

Srg - will this be your 5th csection? Just asking bc this will be my 3rd and my doctor doesn't like to do more than 3. But, I'm hearing of lots of others having 4 and 5.

Kat, my doctor gave me permission for a 5th csection after she did my fourth csection.
