Has anyone used the midwives at Greenville midwifery care (greenvillemidwiferycare.com)? I had a difficult labor with my first (pit, eventual epidural, forceps, 20+ hrs, etc.) and would like to have a natural waterbirth this time. I'm...

I felt the same way. I pushed to get everything done by 37 weeks, which turned out to be perfect. I'm 40 weeks Saturday, but I had to move closer to a hospital at 36 weeks, so while my timing for the baby was off, thankfully I had...

I totally understand! It's our first, and I'm an only child, so you can just imagine how over the moon my parents are. They are making me CRAZY! I get like 10 texts a day from my mom even though I told her we would let her know when...

Me too! I'm "pre-preeclamptic;" my bp is high and I have protein in my urine. Levels aren't quite high enough to diagnose pre-e yet, but my mw thinks it's just a matter of time. Thankfully, it's just modified bedrest though so...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I would totally prefer a birth center, but my insurance won't cover it. Providence is the preferred hospital, so they cover everything there. Plus, my husband may not be there and I know he would...

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum. I'm due in December and moving down to Anchorage for the birth. I'll be using Providence as our insurance pays almost 100% if I go there. The same goes for using the Anchorage Women's Clinic. Has anyone...
