Wow in two days I will be 30 weeks along! Sometimes it seems like time has flown by. So I am all set up to be seen by the midwife team at Madigan. There are 5 midwives there. I have already met one and I am scheduled with two other ones in the next two appointments. I have an ultrasound appointment scheduled for this week also! Normally they don't do ultrasounds in the states, but they are doing a transfer in ultrasound to make sure they have the information they need. When I come in to the hospital for labor and delivery, the midwife who is on call will be with me the whole time. They aren't like doctors where they just come in and check on you every so often. This way they can help explain more what's going on and help with more natural ways of pain management and techniques. I really like how all of this is sounding. I signed up for an intro to labor and delivery at Madigan, like what to expect there, ect. I also signed up for a prenatal breastfeeding class that is put on by lactation specialists. Why not take the free classes they offer if I have time? I am looking into signing up for a breathing type of class, but haven't signed up officially for anything yet.
I discovered at around 27 weeks I could feel hiccups. It feels like a heart beat pulsing down very low in my abdomen, at least a few inches below my belly button (apparently indicates he is head down most of the time according to the midwife I saw last week). I feel him move all the time, multiple times a day, and he seems to be getting stronger everyday. 10 weeks left to go!
