Thread: Finally met my midwife!

My long awaited first appointment was today!

I had several friends recommend this midwife group, and my primary midwife in particular, so I was very excited to meet her. I really liked her a lot- very personable, someone I felt comfortable with immediately. I almost felt like I knew her already since I'd heard so much about her! I wasn't expecting to do anything more than discuss my history and have blood drawn, but I got to hear the heartbeat! Definitely was not expecting that since I'm only 9 weeks today! It was in the 160's- same as DD's at this gestational age. They don't do early ultrasounds as a matter of course, but she ordered one for me (it's tomorrow) because I have long cycles and she wants to get a more accurate date than just going by my LMP.

So it was definitely a good appointment. They have no problem with me going for a VBAC- just have to fill out some paperwork and they have to get my records from the OB who did my c-section (they have to have a record of what type of incision I had). So things are looking good so far!

Yay to meeting you MW & I'm glad you clicked! Yay for hearing that HB too, so special.

Sounds like a great appt. And yay on the vbac.

Congrats on the VBAC! Glad to hear the appointment went well!

that is great news! glad you clicked with her too, that is always good to have a good feeling right away

That's great all the way around!!!

awesome! I'm glad it went well!
