For this pregnancy and birth, we have decided to remain under the care of a certified nurse of midwife. I am lucky to have known lots of pregnant mamas over the last 2+ years who are always eager to give me a review of their birth experiences with many of the care providers in our area. Based on the experience of the couples I have had the privilege of teaching combined with our own research and previous birth experience, we are confident and excited about this choice. There are many great options for midwives in our area! For our family, we chose to meet with Dawn. Our consultation was last night, and we are excited to have her on our birth team along with my doula, Brandy. Brandy was our doula for Lyla's birth. She was so wonderful guiding us through our long labor, and I know that I would not have been successful with breastfeeding had it not been for her postpartum assistance. We have our next appointment in March!
In other news, today Lyla said, "heyyy! Your tummy is getting a little bigger." I'm pretty sure she was just seeing my lunch, but it was still really sweet when she rubbed my belly and told me she was telling the baby "hi".
I'm feeling pretty well so far. I was sick for a few days in a row, but after beginning to take ginger supplements, I haven't been sick at all. I'm hoping and praying that I continue to feel this great! :)
