So I had my midwife apt today, officially 18 weeks, 5 days. not that it matters, I won't deliver at 40 weeks anyway, but the technical crud matters to someone, so I try to ignore their exact dates for the most part.
She saw i was upset immediately,and we got into the story of my ultrasound yesterday. She was horrified. For some reason it made me feel better knowing it mattered to someone else.
This was probably my longest appointment yet. I was there for a little over 2 hours, I think. One of her assistants was there again today, she has 3 of them, and I get my pick as to who, how many and when they will be there during the birth (she has to have at least one though). Today it was Andrea (like me) and i like her the best so far. I have only met the other 2 once, and had my kids with me that day as well, so didn't get to know them as swell as I have Andrea. The 2 times I have met her, I had extremely long appointments and we actually got to talk and get to know each other. I definitely want her there for the birth, and might want the others there as well. I have never had a doula before and have always been in the hospital too, so I am looking forward to being pampered this labor. This will be my last baby probably, and i want to get it right this time, there has always been something wrong with every other birth, and I want the perfect, birth goddess experience! But that's another post all together :)
She also has a new patient, who is a chiropractor. She gave me her number to get adjusted, the one I had been seeing didn't have any idea what to do with a pregnant woman! And i got the info of the only other lady in town who does placenta encapsulation. I was going to do this myself, but not sure if I am going to feel up to it immediately after birth, so the number is good to have. i will probably call her in the next few days to see about pricing and such.
All and all, a great day with the midwife. I just love her <3
