I've been for my 34 week appointment today and feel very low from seeing my midwife. I've asked the following questions..
When do I get a hospital visit?
Answer - you don't. not necessary.
Been thinking about a home birth, what's your policy?
Answer - we don't have one as we don't have the staff.
Do I get a breastfeeding class?
Answer - yes, in July but I am due in June - her further answer is we'll fit you in for half an hour sometime.
If a home birth is a no no, can I pre-book a private room?
Answer - not necessary we'll only keep you 6 hours if all goes well (this is my first baby).
How often do you visit when I get home?
The day after and then the health visitor from day 10.
I really wanted to come away from the MW today feeling relaxed and happy that everything is going to plan except I am not in a state thinking that I have asked some very normal questions only for every one of them to be "no".
Have I asked anything I shouldn't have?
