Concerningher decision to use a midwife, the new mom revealed in a September episode of theInformed Pregnancy podcast with Dr. Elliot Berlinthat the choice came after seeing two OBGYNs and leaving the first one’s office with “a million questions and a sense of doom and fear.”
The next wasn’t much better because she had to spend so much time on paperwork and the experience was “completely impersonal,” Von D explained.
After watching the documentaryThe Business of Being Bornat the urging of a close friend, Von D decided to opt for a midwife. She recalled, “The minute we met Sarah, it was like, ‘Okay, let’s get excited now.’ It was so much fun … like, ‘This is really happening. This is how it’s supposed to feel.’ “
