Appt in which I am proven right!
I had a "consultation" appointment on Thursday that was basically a big waste of my time. Do we have any genetic concerns that we somehow didn't have when I was pregnant last year? Duh!

My midwife (the one that messed it up in the first place, then took 3 trips to "fix" it) has assured me that it'll be ok, but she did this without even looking at it! She said it was such a small amount of tissue that it would barely be noticeable, which says to me that she doesn't remember at all because even a brief glance would show her differently. At any rate, I am going to make my next appointment with a doctor to get a more balanced perspective. If a doctor still thinks I'm crazy to worry about it, then I'll try to let it go, but I don't want to be worried sick about it for 9 months. I'll take my chances with a C-section over that much worry!
I do appreciate your perspective though! The more experiences I can hear/read about, the more complete picture I'll have of what to expect!
