I've just been told I can have a one 2 one midwife, I'm over the moon.
I rang the birthing unit where I want to have Lottie and was chatting to this really lovely lady, a midwife, and as we were talking it came up in conversation that Lottie has Down's syndrome. She then asked me if I would like her to be my midwife throughout my pregnancy, she'll give me prenatal care at home or I can go to the hospital now and then if I like and she'll deliver the baby for me, either at home or at the birth unit.
We got on so well on the phone and I'm just over the moon that I'll have the same person, either her or if she's on holiday her partner, throughtout the entire pregnancy. She only lives round the corner from me as well.
I just had to share it as I'm so, so happy.
