I have a midwife! YAYYYYY! Feeling pretty dang pleased with myself right now. I'm going
to go the birth center route this time, aiming for a waterbirth. For insurance reasons, I'm going to keep my initial appointment on the 21st with my OB, and then transfer care to the birth center for the rest of the pregnancy.
The center's only been open since August, with about 40 births so far, but I feel surprisingly fine about that. She said they've had 3 transfers, all of which were exhaustion-related, and all 3 of which went on to have vaginal births at the hospital. Our insurance is apparently super great about working with them, which is a huge deal, and I really liked all of their answers to my many many questions. So, yep! The only thing is, it's about 50 minutes away in no traffic, which will be great fun in labor. The midwife said ours is actually one of the shortest distances she's heard, so if people can drive down from Virginia and Boone while in labor, I think I can handle our little commute. I'm so excitedddd!
