I somehow gained like 4 pounds in a week. YIKES. Midwife appointment this week? Yep! I had my third trimester group visit yesterday afternoon with Angela and Karen. There were about six other moms and a couple spouses at this visit. We took turns weighing and doing blood pressure to ourselves and then met 1:1 with a midwife to check baby’s heartbeat and get…

Midwife appointment this week? Yep! I had one yesterday with Alexa. This was my second time seeing her and she was able to draw my blood on the first time which is great for me since I’m so terrified of needles. We went over what to expect this next month and when to call the…
I have been so lucky with my prenatal care experience this time around with Hattie. So lucky, that I’m now partnering with my birthing center, Baby+Co, to tell you mamas-to-be all about my experience taking group classes at Baby+Co! Baby+Co’s slogan says it all: A modern birth center, built on evidence, delivered with love. Learn more about Baby+Co here. In my previous prenatal care at a traditional OBGYN, I was given pamphlets for classes to take at the local hospital to prepare for the birth of my son. These pamphlets, among others…

I’ve gained… if my home scale is correct, I may have gained 24 pounds. We will see next week at my midwife appt. Midwife appointment this week? Nope – next Thursday! Current mood: Stressed out.

Nope, but I had one last week! I saw one of the new midwives (If I remember correctly, her name was Karen) and then Jualeah gave me an almost-spanking for not being so awesome with taking my iron. Don’t get me wrong, I want to not be anemic anymore, but that liquid iron is so gross and it’s…
