Okay it's getting late at night and I am starting to totally freak myself out over this. Maybe becuase have been really bad with depression and anxiety lately. :-(
I am seriously tempted to contact the midwifery program and leave a message for the midwife (becuase she didnt give me any contact details) saying that I am willing to wait until after the school term has started. That will be another 4 to 5 weeks.
I am only a little concerned because I got a letter from the midwifery program at the start of December saying that my midwife would contact me within a week to arrange a time. She didn't so I emailed them yesterday and she called today.
What do you think??? Am I allowed to re-schedule? Or am I just making it inconvenient for her by wanting to re-schedule and should I just let her bring her kids regardless of what I want????
The only thing is that I am sure that she is a lovely person and everything but I only have one pair of eyes and with the midwifery program I get what I am given re midwives and I just want to try to avoid a hospital birth.
BUT I don't want a midwife who hates me becuase I re-scheduled on her becuase I'd rather her kids not come.
Don't let yourself get too stressed out by it all, hon. I'm sure if she's bringing the kids and is at all professional she'll have it all under control. Do you know the age of the kids? There's a good chance if they're in school they'll understand that they have to be quiet (and might just sit there playing their Nintendo DS or something). I'm sure if you called the midwifery program and asked for a contact you could call her just to talk to her and put your mind at ease.
Yes when are you due?? What if that's in the holidays?
To reassure you they may be older and just bring a nintendo DS or an I-pod and amuse themselves.
It is a bit odd to bring them IMO since its your first baby and you need to discuss fairly personal things with the MW.
I hope it goes well.
I amnot sure of their age or even how many there are. She just said 'kids" as a plural and that they would "just play in the garden". We are in a rental property and do not have a garden. Even if we did I would feel nervous about leaving kids unattended in it.
I figure they are young becuase they are too young to stay home by themselves.
