Read the new comment. :) I managed to try and change tabs and post it before I finished my thoughts.

True, it will probably be more clear the further along I get. Sort of a week by week thing, I guess.

I'll know more about which way to go with my plans/ideas when I speak to her, but you're right, I need to be open to change/redirection.

What fun high risk is!
Not.

I can't stress enough how important and beneficial it was to us to have a doula on board, both during labor for the extra support and comfort she provided, but also because her knowledge and experience helped with some of the decision making-I could bounce ideas off of her during pregnancy, and during labor, we could rely on her feedback to make sure that we were taking the best course of care possible.

Thanks so much for sharing, and your daughter is beautiful.

Ouch on the forceps, ouch.

Thanks. Just remember..talk to your OB and let him/her know what you want for your labor.

Good luck, and keep us posted here with any questions or issues you have during the pregnancy.

ladycash April 24 2008, 00:41:19 UTC

Absolutely.

Are you with a High Risk OB? It sounds like you might be/should be with your risk for diabetes and pre-eclampsia ( ... )

ladycash April 24 2008, 03:23:56 UTC

Am I with a high risk OB?
Oh there's a whole story behind that.

To make it short:
I was released from my RE (3 hrs away) to my reg OB/gyn.
I'm currently under her, with visits to a cardiologist for my bp, and an endo for my thryoid/diabetes.

Not overly happy with some med decisions that have been made, but seem to be unable to find anyone who agrees with me. I have a level 2 scan on the second with the perinatologist and will discuss my future care and any changes then.

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I guess it's a case by case thing.
