That was pretty gross?

Was it gross that I posted the entire test in my last post? Should I have included just the "Yay! Two lines!" part of the test? Sorry, guys.

Official blood test this morning. I assume my numbers will be good. Of course, I am a half-empty glass kind of girl so I will probably not let myself believe that everything is going well until the baby is on the outside.

Guess I need to figure out a doctor soon. A few good friends of ours have given birth with the midwifery practice at a hospital and they really liked it but it's in Union Square and I work much further downtown. There's another practice a little closer to work in Soho that has a lab and all ultrasound stuff onsite that also has a midwife, but they deliver at a hospital where my friend had a pretty traumatic birth. Or someplace else? Geez. I haven't decided 100% whether I'll go drug-free, but I'm leaning that direction.

  3. Let me know if you want to talk NYC midwifery practices. Close to home I love the Park Slope Midwives (deliver at Methodist) and the Brooklyn Birthing Center (Miamonides is the hospital in case of transfer). In Manhattan, I like the Beth Israel midwives (especially Cory) and I know everyone loves midwifery of Manhattan (although I myself do not). Good luck with whomever you chose!
