A midwife is basically a nurse who
specialises in looking after pregnant
women, delievers babies and look after
them. I have no idea what you mean by
lamaz so i can't help you with that one

O.O; I don't know I
had my first appointment at 12 weeks, I
didn't know you get one asigned... plus I
have state health insurance so I have no
idea how things work... see im new to this
state I come from California so im more
use to them... even then I didn't know
about midwifes being
asigned...

Not to be nitpicky, but your font is kind
of small - it's a little hard on the eyes.
You might get more responses if you didn't
make it quite as tiny. The color is fine,
though.
Just a friendly suggestion.

"Lamaze" refers to child-birthing classes.
Here is some more info:
In 1951, Dr. Fernand Lamaze introduced a
method of childbirth in France by
incorporating techniques he observed in
Russia. Named after Dr. Lamaze, the method
consists of childbirth education classes,
relaxation and breathing techniques, and
continuous emotional support of the
husband and a specially trained nurse.
Lamaze childbirth educators teach a series
of classes for women and their partners
during the last trimester of pregnancy
that prepares them for labor and birth.
These classes focus on the normal process
of labor and birth, as well as strategies
that women and their partners can use to
enhance the progress of labor and to
reduce pain and fear. The classes include
information about complications and
medical options, so that new parents can
make informed decisions should they need
to do so.

Also, not everyone gets a midwife. It's
personal choice, and depends on where you
get your pre-natal care. I don't have a
midwife, i only have a doctor.
