I don't get the midwife situation, can someone please explain it to me? Are they nurses? Can they perform procedures like taking blood doing PAP smears, putting in IV's? Can they use fetal monitors like ultrasounds and dopplers? Can they dispense any medications? When will a midwife refer to a doctor? Do they refer to your doctor or do they refer to an associated OB?
I'm very confused and everything I find online is pretty vague. I get that they keep track of you and your progress etc. I just don't really understand what things I should be getting from a midwife and when I should see my GP and I would go on what my midwife says but I sort of got the impression that if there was any way to make it someone else's problem that was what she'd do. Thanks for any insight anybody has!
