This midwifery group is part of Delaware valley OB-GYN .URSULA MIGUEL is the head. I was seeing an OB and one day happened to see GRACE FIMBEL who is a midwife. She started her pitch..saying if you come with us, you won't have to use an epidural like your first delivery. A few weeks later I switched.I even gave them a copy of my birth plan and was assured that it would be followed.I was told that the minute i got to the hospital, a MIDWIFE WOULD BE WAITING FOR ME. Grace also mentioned in a seminar that she was with a patient for 36 hours. I went into labor t 11:30pm. I called the m'wife on call-it was Grace at home..(it was my 2nd delivery)and how far apart the contractions were about 6 min. apart.)She asked me to call back again when they were about 5 min apart. I was told I could go to the hospital. NO MIDWIFE CAME TILL 15 min BEFORE I DELIVERED..COULDNT GIVE ME A GOOD EXPLAINATION AS TO WHAT HAPPENED. ALL TALK NO FOLLOW THROUGH. VERY DISAPPOINTED
