I'm with Isis as well and due with our first on May 28. Can't wait!

So my blood tests came back 4 weeks ago, when I was 28 weeks, saying I've very anemic. Up until around a week before that test, I had a pretty uneventful pregnancy--no morning sickness or major fatigue. But then I got really tired. And...

Are you sure? That's what I thought too until someone on this board pointed out to me that midwives often aren't listed on insurance directories. If there's an OB in the practice, that's who is listed but care from the midwives is still...
