OB/GYN? Midwife? Doula?

I've been thinking about a midwife/doula...wondering what your thoughts are. I'm currently using my OB/GYN

I see a midwife at my OB's practice.
FYI a Doula is a support person at the time of delivery, she can't give you prenatal care

Do you mean to deliver the baby? I think a doula is just there to support you during and after delivery...unless they also happen to be a midwife, they can't deliver the baby.

I just switched from an OB/GYN to a midwife and I couldn't be happier!

I saw midwife as well. Her name is Melanie Sumersille... She is fabulous. She works with an OB who is also great. She saw me for prenatal care and was with me for my entire labor. Then she stayed to help me breast feed.
