Tomorrow

Tomorrow we have our first prenatal appointment for this little (grape) sized baby. I am excited. We are going a completely different rout for this child. I always thought midwifes were for those crazy extreme women who want at home births.  I have had family members who have used a midwife in a hospital and LOVED them. Because I had a not so great experience with my Dr. during delivery, I decided I wanted to go the midwife route.

For some reason I thought the Dr. would be there when I was in labor and at the hospital. He just showed up the last few minutes to catch the baby and cut his cord. I guess if he was there the whole time he would live at the hospital LOL, but I just expected more of his time. After all we did pay him a lot!!!

There is my explanation for why I am choosing a midwife. I want someone to be a part of my whole pregnancy and them have them there for labor and delivery. I think I will also like that it is a woman. I think I will feel more comfortable asking those "awkward" questions.

I will be having this baby "if all goes well" at Madison Memorial Hospital, in Rexburg, with a midwife, and a Dr. on call if anything goes wrong.

I am very excited to meet with my midwife tomorrow to see how I like her personality. Yay, for babies.
