Mel, the midwife that I had seen the most often before my baby was born, was great and seemed very interested in my care. When I was visited by midwives that I hadn't met before, however, they didn't have any prior information about me, and would ask if I had a 'normal' delivery without reading my notes. Since I didn't have a 'normal' delivery (and I think that term shouldn't be used), this would mean I would have to explain everything to them and then wait while they read the details in the notes. If there was a better protocol for midwives to get up to speed on their patients this would make things easier and more pleasant for everyone.
