No midwife for me.

I tried to get a midwife but failed. They only seem to take people who live in Vancouver and not the outlying cities. This kinda ticks me off some because I really wanted my baby at BC Women's Hospital which is where midwives work. I then tried to find a doctor that has rights to deliver at BC Women's and found that I would have to travel a long way to visit her. And when I found out you have to see them every four weeks I thought why should I do all that travelling when I can find a doctor in Richmond who is closer. I gave up and found one. I'm hoping that I made the right choice having my baby at Richmond General. I at least had the luck to get a doula. You can look up a Doula's job on the internet if you are interested. I found it quite helpful to read up on it. She is basically my coach before, during, and after the delivery. So far I have had one disappointment with this whole pregnancy thing. I can't go on any rides at the PNE!
