Midwife or OBGYN?

It's my first time pregnancy, low risk. Because I heard that finding the right care provider can be intense, I have applied to a few options and we got lucky with finding a midwifery care 20 mins from home.

However, a few months ago my family doctor had placed a referral to an Obgyn at Sunnybrook, which is 5 min away and they just recently reached out for an appointment.

I want a hospital birth with epidural and after learning about midwives more, I loved the personalized consultation, the idea of postnatal care, but am not sure if it's the right thing for me, because I have a great fear of pain and birth complications.

Am I allowed to have a first consultation with the Obgyn and get to know them to be sure of my choice?

PS: I don't plan on holding someone else's opportunity and plan to decide this quickly - luckily the consultation would be very soon, but I don't know if I should do it. I am not familiar with the system , everything in motherhood is new and overwhelming to me and I feel anxious about making the right choice.

Hi! I am building an Archfey Warlock / Wild Magic Sorcerer for a high-level campaign (up to level 20) using 2024 rules. Narratively, this combo makes a lot of sense for this character but I only played 2014 Warlock and am a very narrative oriented player.

I’m worried about the mechanical weight since I've never played as Sorcerer and I consider myself more narrative driven vs mechanic heavy player.

Managing Sorcery Points, Metamagic, and tracking which spells trigger the Wild Magic Surge feels like a lot to track just for flavour and I wonder if it would feel more like a chore vs fun chaotic times.I'd like to hear your thoughts on this and on any recommendations for Multiclassing on 5.5e

Since subclasses now unlock at level 3, I’m leaning toward Archfey 3 / Sorcerer X. This secures the free Misty Steps and my Pact,

Thanks you!
