CNM or OB?
I just got my BFP yesterday and my doctor today confirmed it. But he's not an OBGYN so now I get to start the fun of finding one. I have no clue where to start, but the referral list has both CNMs and OBs listed. I really feel like I'll be more comfortable with a CNM since I have a bit of a phobia when it comes to doctors and it takes me a long time to get comfortable with one (like, longer than 7.5 months) but at the same time I want to be with the same caregiver through the whole process.
If you went through this decision, how did you decide? And how did you pick your caregiver? I was given a list of literally 30 that my insurance will cover and have no clue where to even begin.

Surprise BFP | Baby Due Late July/Early August 2013
I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.
