Mitch and I went to our first prenatal appt with our midwife today - I feel so relieved that everything looks good so far! She said I am 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant but wants us to get a first trimester ultrasound anyway to really lock down a due date. Which is fine by me!
We got there early to fill out paperwork and everything was wrong. It said I had acne, asthma, and all this other stuff and that my insurance was inactive. A mini-heart attack later we noticed that the sheet said my middle initial was M - well it's obviously J. Turns out the lady that made my appt took down my information on someone else's file (thus deleting some other lady) and made a huge mess. Apparently she was not very good at her job and doesn't work there anymore.
Our midwife was recommended to us by our couple friends Allison and Greg - she was so nice! She answered my long list of questions and the couple that my husband had too. The midwife said my nipples are nice...for breast feeding and that is exactly how she said it. "Your nipples are nice...pause...for breastfeeding". So funny!
My cervix was nice and purple and the right size for 6 weeks. Honestly, I felt so realized. Somehow I thought she was going to say "what makes you think you're pregnant" and it would be this humiliating doctors visit for a hysterical pregnancy.
We told her that we prefer a water birth and she was on board and ordered a Hep-C test which you need to have if giving birth in water.
Our ultrasound appt is June 22nd at 8am. I can't wait. Really, two whole freakin' weeks!
