I was just reading your list and thinking that most of those things were covered in the antenatal class I did at my hospital. We spent a day at the hospital with one of the midwives and did a tour of the ward and got lots of info. Does the hospital offer something like this?

I'm not sure if you will be seeing a doctor or a midwife at your appointment, but a lot of these questions would be better answered by a midwife who will be there for labour and recovery, rather than just to catch as some doctors are.

Also, there is a lot to cover here, so might be too much for one appointment and they might rush through. Very important that you are satisfied with the answers you receive.

Great questions, but maybe you could be a bit more assertive. Rather than asking what they will let you do, tell them what you want.

Good luck.
