Baby measured two days ahead of where I guessed my O date was so we are officially due 4/16! Heartbeat was 100 and 117 the two times they took it.
We just had a wonderful meeting with the homebirth midwife. DH really liked her and has now totally switched his thinking. We go to the birth center thursday too and he said "unless we really love the place or the midwives or something I see us going with her... homebirth!" Total 180 from before.
She is totally like me. Wants to do things naturally if there is a way but her words exactly " i am not going to give you herbs or waive incense over you to stop a hemmorage, I have meds ready" ... she is just a lot like me. Very down to earth and just wonderful!
Yeah DH said " I was expecting some hippie etc" haha. I think he was not sure of what to expect and she is just a totally normal girl and she actually just ended up with a section 7 weeks ago after her planned homebirth... so she knows when to say when etc. But I think the fact that he knows we are going to get the same experience at the birth center and she is just as prepared etc. The birth center is about 5 minutes closer to the hospital. Its 5 minutes away and our house is 10.... so its still not FAR away etc.
I am going to talk with my OB just so I don't burn that bridge and let her know that while I love her ... its not what I want for my birth as long as it stays low risk. But if it doesn't I want to be able to go back to her because I like her.
I will still have my 12 and 20 week ultrasounds to make sure is all ok.
