09-5-2009 - getting a midwife?

My mood while writing this blog: confused

---

Hello All,

I am new to this site and very happy that i came across it as this is my very first pregnancy and not to sure what to expect. I am not sure as to how many weeks i am, i will find out on monday. I have heard about midwifes but not really sure what it is what they do. I live in Canada, ontario, toronto. Do u either have a midwife or a gyno? can u have both? Sorry for all the questions they may seem dumb. Is it better to have one? What have most people done?

Also, this has nothing to do with this, but, i have heard that it is not good to sleep on your back, is this true will it hurt the baby? I don't think im too far along maybe 4-6 weeks, i am not showing alot, i already had a little bit of a pouch to begin with. Will sleeping on my tummy affect the baby? I have always slept on my tummy and find this the most comfortable. I know that as i get further along and start showing alot more it will not be possible to sleep on my tummy.

Thanks for reading and answering!
