Oh PZ, i feel your pain...like literally hopefully with some rehydration and some rest ('cause it's so easy with a toddler hahahaha) it will calm down a bit. like Sara mentioned are you on mag/cal?
Sara: yeah i take a mag/cal supplement already. they think that i am just overdoing it (easy done with small kids to look after IYKWIM). Sounds like they are just giving you a generic 'for the masses' birth procedure - it is not tailored for you, so hopefully with loads of boring-as discussions and firm resolved it can all be worked around.
HotI: it felt so good not giving my consent!!! like, seriously therapeutic! i started to feel the usual pressure and uncertainty, but then had a moment of 'my body, my baby' and realised that it wasnt being offered for the good intentions of me or the baby, but simply as protocol. not good enough reason for me!
and of course had to tread lightly as a homebirth transfer it is in the back of your mind that if you seem to be too 'vigilante' that you can be reported to DHS. so i had to face alot of questions about if they did 'let me' go home that night and i went into labour what would i do...ahhhh well, i am HERE in the HOSPITAL arent I??! So i had to reassure the head OB that i would in fact return if i went into labour before 36 weeks. far out. they really actually believe that people that homebirth will risk their babies to do so
