Saw the GP yesterday for my referral to the midwives (so they can book u/s if needed and for Medicare, i think) and to organize all the things I'll need from her to prepare for our home birth. She's a great GP and completely in favor of me going this way, even though I'm her first patient to do so! So I get the Group B strep test done through her at 36 weeks, plus syntocin JIC of bleeding and Vit K for the baby. She also wrote me a letter for the hospital in case I need to transfer.

Off for our scan next Thurs and pretty sure we'll be confirming our girl. DD is very excited!

She asked me the other day, "Mummy, how does the baby get out of your vagina?" So she obviously has listened and watched when I showed her the water birth video! LOL I told her my body sort of opens up and gently squeezes the baby out. May as well start using my calm birth language! I love that she's old enough to share this with us.

Next question was all about how the baby is fed in Mummy's tummy and what does the placenta look like. It's like a continuous biology lesson around here!
