Homebirth General Discussion #14

[TeniBear]

Oh no no no, I don't really mean it the way it's come across I don't mean I'll sit there and be silly about it, I'm not going to take up any more time than I would if it were a normal appointment. (With a doctor, btw, or that's what the letter says. If it's a midwife I'll ask for the doctor.) I just meant it more like they want me to come in, so I might as well waste an appointment slot (which would go to waste if I didn't turn up anyway) and get these results rather than them keep bugging me about not coming. Last time I missed an appointment with them they sent me letters for weeks, even after I called and asked them not to, before giving up. Might as well get the results.

If they're perfectly nice and actually treat me like a human being, of course I'm not going to cause them any grief! I'll be lovely and hopefully they'll respect that I don't actually want to birth with them. But if they are rude - and having been through these people before I'm fairly certain they will be - then I'm going to screw up the courage to pull them up on it. More likely I'll sit there, listen to whatever they're saying with all my sarcastic comments tucked away in the back of my head, and walk out feeling like I should've said something.

Sorry if I'm coming across as a petulant child, I know how it sounds, looks, whatever. Like I said, it makes sense in my head but I'm having trouble getting it across.
