I had my annual exam today with a midwife. I was very excited to meet her and I felt immediately comfortable with her. She was very good with my questions and took lots of time to talk to me.
I was really hoping I could have her deliver my baby in the future. I don't think it's going to happen. My age (nearly 37) automatically makes me a high risk pregnant lady. My blood pressure issues are the other problem. She said I would have to have an OB-GYN if I am actually high risk in the end. I wanted to have a midwife or doula, and she said that she could refer me to some doulas when the time comes.
The other problem is that I have to lose between 10 and 15 pounds. I need to do this, because I know I will feel better and my future baby will be better off if I do, but MAN. I hate exercising.
She said that we should try to six months to get pregnant and if we don't by then, we can come in and talk about our options. I am really hoping it won't come to this.
