We’ve arrived in Mobile for a short trip. Tomorrow we have a full day of prenatal visits: a morning appointment with our midwife and an afternoon consultation with the doctor who has to sign off on my medical chart for me to deliver at the Birth Center. Part of the consultation is the “scare session” where he’ll go through all of the terrible things that can happen in a VBAC and in birth in general. We’ve heard he’s a pretty nice guy and totally into midwifery care, so I’m kind of interested in hearing the schpeal. I’m also glad I know the science and the studies and have the knowledge to stift through it in a responsible fashion.
The big part of the day is the second ultrasound. Turns out my placenta is on the front and low — possibly on my scar. This is a Big Deal and needs to be investigated for the birth plan to proceed. We feel pretty good about it not being a problem, but it will be nice once we get the go-ahead.
