First Midwife Visit
Today we did our first "meet and greet" with one of the midwives at the Swedish Midwifery. We were very excited about our visit! This meeting was just a chance to get to know the practice and ask any questions we had in deciding if we wanted to use them as our practitioner. We met with Kathleen, one of the three midwives who we will work with at the practice. Any one of them will be present at the birth, so we will get to know them all. Kathleen confirmed the due date we were thinking, which is August 23. She was very sweet and knowledgeable! We both had a great feeling after our conversation with her. here's some info about Swedish Midwifery. http://www.swedish.org/body.cfm?id=1938 Here's some info about Swedish Ballard's birth center: http://www.swedish.org/body.cfm?id=479&oTopID=20 We will tour the birth center February 8. Next Tuesday will be our first visit for testing, etc. We are hoping we might be able to listen for a heartbeat!
