Stoked, I'm glad you're feeling better...I always remembered the importan things after my midwife left!! Don't be afraid to call her. I really recommend setting up a birth alter. I have a photo of mine in my album here on bb. It had a candle affirmations and crystals. I found it so great for connecting with ds in the lead up to his birth.

Jen I am so excited for you!! I find it funny the ob mentioned mess...it's seriously not an issue and the midwives clean up anyway. It's birth! So much more is going on to be worrying about mess!
And as for monitoring...I felt ds kicking the whole time, although the Doppler was used too.
