    well, i had my first M/W appt yesterday!! Nic came to our home and an hours appt went for 2 hours!!!!!! soooo different to the 10 minute in-out OB situation lol!

    DH was there as was DD and we just chatted and ate lollipops.

    I love that DD is such a big part of this experience too, and Nic was supportive of her being there and was not shocked at the prospect that even the dog might wanna have a squiz LOL!

    most of all i just loved the freedom of it and ease. feel sooo excited...couldnt sleep all night LOL!

    Excellent! So happy to hear you are having excited positive experiences!

    Midwives Naturally are great, I am with them too, although I am not with Nicola. I have friends who birthed with her last time and are using her again and speak very highly of her.

    The long appointments are just wonderful aren't they?!
