Midwife or open-minded OBGYN

Just found out that I'm expecting. Where we lived during my last pregnancy, it was common to use a midwifery group. I'm not absolutely "crunchy" but I do appreciate holistic care, not pushing unnecessary inductions, etc. With that said, any midwife or OBGYN recommendations in the area?

PT recommendations for knee

Please send your recommendations for physical therapists in the area for the knee. I'd prefer a place that works with you one on one rather than multiple clients at once. Thank you!

Sofa chaise vs sofa with ottoman

I'm debating between a sofa with a chaise and a sofa with an ottoman. I need something that'll allow me to put my leg up when needed. Has anyone regretted a sofa with a chaise? Any thoughts btwn which style to choose? Ty.

Adjustable bed frames

I'm having knee surgery in the upcoming future. We are in need of new bedroom furniture. Is it worth the investment for an adjustable bed frame for surgery recovery? Or not worth it? I've heard of bed frames where the head and foot of the bed can be elevated. And if you have one, can you send a brand recommendation? Thanks.

Would you use a surgeon with terrible bedside manners?

I have had a knee condition for a long time and I finally booked surgery for next month as it's getting worse. The surgeon himself called me yesterday and said I've been calling with too many questions, I seem unsure, and that my next call can be to cancel surgery and that's it.

Under normal circumstances, I would just cancel the surgery with him as he obviously has poor bedside manners and the conversation could have been handled much better. However, if I cancel the surgery, due to life circumstances I'll have to wait another 6 months at least to do the surgery with another surgeon. We also have the work flexibility to do it this summer and we won't have that next winter.

What would you do?

Has anyone had knee surgery before moving? I'll be 6 weeks NWB. We wont move before the 6-week mark but it could be at the 8 week mark. I'm aware that I'll basically be useless in terms of the physical moving but has anyone else done this? Any advice? It'll be a long-distance move, not a local move.
