Review of Cambridge Midwives

I did not have a great experience unfortunately. This was my first pregnancy and I had premature rupturing of the membranes (PROM), when I was 26 weeks pregnant. My midwife was unable to diagnose that this is what had occurred when it happened, and after a physical exam, and I was walking around a few days until I was sent for an ultrasound. Ultrasound was able to detect this and I was put into the care of an OB. It was interesting that the OB was able to determine that my water had ruptured from a physical exam without question. I was lucky my daughter was not born during the days I was walking around with my membranes ruptured, as she was 2.2lbs when born and needed immediate medical attention and oxygen. I would not want to be in the care of a midwife after my experience. I do not understand why something that seemed so recognizable in the medical field was difficult for my midwife to identify. And, when she came to visit in the hospital after I was sent to the OB she said 'Oh phoo' about the situation. I was not impressed.
