Hi Ladies

I had my midwife appointment today hoping to find out what was going on with this fibroid. Unfortunately the tools at the hospital didn't send the ultrasound report to an OB to review it so I had no news today. The midwife has booked me in for a highrisk appointment with an OB for Tuesdya afternoon so I have to wait a little longer. Perhaps they could just wait until I give birth!

I told the midwife regardless of the outcome I don't want to book in for a c-section & want to at least try. She said that as long as the fibroid doesn't interfere with the baby's head engaging I should be ok. I told her that I was worried that the OB may be 'scalpel happy' & go stright for the c-section, but she assured me that they would all prefer that I had a natural birth.

I just want the outcome to go my way. No one else that I discuss this with seems to understand why I so want a natural birth. They give the standard 'as long as the baby is healthy...whatever is best for the baby...' No ****. Of course I want what is best for my baby too, but I hust want to give it a go, especially if this is my last pregnancy, I want to be able to feel what it's likes to give bith naturally again. I took it for granted last time that I'd just be able to do it again.

Ah well, I better go. Getting a little emotional now - I blame hormones!
