What is wrong with the Ob asking the "covering ob" to see all his women for one visit? Then the woman would have at least met the doctor who might be on when hers is away. In W.A. Homebirth midwives usually have a backup midwife who both "covers" her but also attends as second midwife at the birth. MM
