Update...again...

So, yesterday was quite the day. I was at MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) and we were working on our craft for the day when I received a phone call. My phone was on silent but I was expecting a call from John so I left the phone on the table. When I noticed that it was my midwives office calling I quickly stepped out without saying anything and answered. The midwife asked if I had a second...not good.

So she explained how once a month they get together with the doctors in the office and discuss some of the "cases" (ie: patients) especially the higher risk patients. My case came up at their most recent meeting. Since I have just been put on another medication to help control my diabetes and sugars, I am now deemed more high risk then before. Thus the midwives feel it would be in mine and baby's best interest to be seen by the doctors for the duration of my pregnancy. I am SERIOUSLY bummed and was upset after I got off the phone. I LOVE the midwives and was really looking forward to birthing my daughter with them.

The midwife I talked to thought that the doctors would be able to better assist me if I were to need insulin and such during labor than they would be. I am most concerned with having a healthy baby and staying healthy myself, but also I am NOT wanting a c-section unless it is the thing that HAS to happen. (To all my family and friends out there who are reading this and worry about my uterus rupturing and other complications of a VBAC, I will not let what I WANT affect the safety of mine and my daughter). The midwife didn't see why trying for a VBAC wouldn't be a possibility. So, as of now I am now going to a doctor not a midwife.

Yesterday was spent changing all my appointments that I had already scheduled through December 30th with the midwives. I actually don't know if they ever were cancelled. Oh well. The receptionist was getting on my nerves because she pretty much made it sound like it was all my fault for going to the "new" doctor at "this late in my pregnancy" as she put it. I tried to tell her I was being transferred and she told me to wait for a call. I was told to call back to schedule appointments. I was loosing my patience. Not to mention when she called back later she told me that the only 2 appointments that she could schedule me for were at times I couldn't make it and wouldn't be able to find someone to watch Aidan.

When I told her it wouldn't work she acted like I was being the most difficult person in the world and reminded me that the doctor was "fitting me in" and that this was a later in my pregnancy than most people switch doctors in. The nurse ended up calling me after the office was closed and told me her computer was down and she would call today to help me set up what would work for me.

Well, she called me within the 1/2 hour or so she said she would today and set up appointments for me the next two and then decided that she might as well schedule me through the end of December!! So we got that straight! She was super nice too. I am anxious to see how things will go at the first appointment in 2 weeks. I went to this doctor for my VBAC consult. It was interesting....but informative. I just hope the good things I have heard about her so far is true and that she is as wonderful as everyone is telling me she is. Oh well.

**Side note!! Since we didn't really use a whole lot of our birthing techniques with Aidan's birth we are doing a "refresher class" and just got a call reminding us about it!! Funny thing is I just registered today! I got a kick out of that. **
