Appt went absolutely great. She seems like a great advocate for home births and natural labour. She was asking if I wanted scans or bt, saying they weren't necessary if I didn't want them. She wasn't really for the down syndrome test, saying it causes more stress than eases it, and gd test, saying I was young and healthy and that it is very unreliable. She went on to say how much of these are encouraged to increase intervention.

She was the first professional to praise me for bf whilst pg, and even recommended talking to a lactation consultant about my future bf plans. She was saying how my body sounded perfect for natural labour, saying how all the symptoms that were worrying me were purely my body doing what it was meant to be doing.

It felt so nice to talk to someone about my pg and labour plans, who actually seemed really interested and totally ready to back me up throughout my whole journey. It's nice feeling like I'm going to have full control over MY body.
