We got a bunch of questions answered which was really helpful. Even though they were mostly delivery-related and that won't be for a few months, I feel better having a better concept of what will happen. I don't do well with the unknown.
We signed up for childbirth classes that are offered in the office by a L&D nurse from the hospital we will be using! It is a bit cheaper than the in-hospital classes and I feel better knowing the nurses are familiar with our offices style of work which really encourages natural birth. After speaking with the midwife today, we will also be signing up for a hospital tour just so we are familiar with our surroundings and J doesn't get lost on me while I'm in labor.
Here are the numbers from my gestational diabetes and anemia blood tests last month:
- Sugars: 103 (Less than 140 is passing)
- Hemoglobin: 11.6 (More than 11 is passing)
At some point we will have to decide whether we are delivering with a doctor or a midwife in the practice. With a doctor, we would mostly be working with residents and nurses. With a midwife, they would be present throughout labor and could coach us through it. I'm leaning towards midwife right now, but J and I will have to decide what we think is best.
