Back story...Last pregnancy, I had no real intention of home birthing. Around 20 weeks, I really started researching it. I mentioned it to one of the MEDwives at the OB practiced and she got really nasty and threatened to dismiss me from the practice if I ever mentioned it again. After we got the news the the baby was perfect and growing the right way, I got copies of my labs and never went back for prenatal care. I did, however, start with my home birth midwife. She did all the normal prenatal care stuff.
Anyway, last month, I needed my yearly womanly check-up. I figured since I knew that OB/GYN office, I would just go see them for that. They didn't even ask what happened, where I went, how the baby is...NOTHING. I figured all was "safe" So I scheduled my first OB check up with them. I had plans to do the same thing this pregnancy. Well, I had to see the OB intake nurse. She pried and pried me for answers about my last pregnancy. Finally, I broke down and told her the details of my last birth. She assured me that I would not be dismissed. I was then called to the lab for my draws. The phlebotomy chick was like an inch from sticking me when Intake Nurse calls DH and I back into our office. She gives us the "Bad news" That I was being dismissed for non-compliance. Not that I am shocked. More disgusted than anything. I now have an appointment with a more Home Birth tolerant midwife at another practice. I heard about her here as well as from my HB MW. I go on April 28th.

I had NO protein in my urine and my bloodwork was ok except liver enzymes were at the high end of normal. When my dh got to the hospital (I had called him in a panic to get there asap when I got sent in for the NST, but he was too late) I was in the bathroom crying and shaking so hard I couldn't dress myself and had thrown up.
