Hospital Bag
I'm due in the next week or so and I realized I ought to have an "in case" hospital bag set up, just in case we need to transfer. Does anyone know what sorts of things I should include in it? Thanks everyone!See More

LABOR AND DELIVERY NEEDS AT THE HOSPITAL OR BIRTH CENTER
You are in labor and it is now time to go to the hospital or birth center. Since babies arrive on their own time it is a good idea to pack your bag at least one month before your due…

My "Just in case" bag has some clothes to come home in, travel-size toiletries for cleaning up postpartum, and some nipple butter. I also have a cesarean birth plan and a hospital birth plan so that hopefully my wishes will still be…

A friend of mine asked about this the other day. I'll tell you the same thing I told her. I don't think its necessary to pack a 'just in case' bag. If you are really set on homebirth, then the only reason you would be…

Katie replied to Jane Doe's discussion 'Epidurals: A sign of weakness?'
As many of you know, I planned for my pregnancy and birth for over a year before I conceived! I had known for a very long time that I wanted an unmedicated birth, cared for by midwives, in a birthing center or at home. The reasons were many, …
Patrice Nichole Byers replied to Jane Doe's discussion 'Epidurals: A sign of weakness?'
I really hate the sentiment of women who choose medicated births being weaker than women who don't. Keep in mind I am a woman who birthed all 4 of my babies, the most recent one last week at home, without pain meds, however this notion…
Epidurals: A sign of weakness?
I found this blog on Baby Center and just wanted to get everyone's take on it here. The comments are interesting to read too. I had hoped to read a comment from someone that didn't get an epidural but was diappointed.http://blogs.babycenter.com/mom_stories/epidurals-a-sign-of-weakness/See More

Great reply, even though the comment above didn't deserve one.
Cindy Lerner replied to Jane Doe's discussion 'Are OB appointments necessary?'
I did all of my prenatal care with my midwife. She did blood tests right in her home office and could have sent me for an ultrasound if I had wanted one. I didn't want any pressure to get checked internally (which my midwife never did until I…
Jane Doe replied to Jane Doe's discussion 'Are OB appointments necessary?'
When she ordered an ultrasound for you or any other tests, did you have to pay for those out of pocket or were they covered by insurance? I'm just wondering how that works when a midwife orders tests and if the insurance company still covers it…
Sara replied to Jane Doe's discussion 'Are OB appointments necessary?'
I saw only a MW for my entire pregnancy (two of them actually). She was able to order all tests, labs, and (although I never needed it) could have also prescribed me medicine. Since I wasn't having any problems it was never necessary for me to…
Sara replied to Jane Doe's discussion 'Are OB appointments necessary?'
Some states (including mine) do require a back up OB---for CPM's and CNM's (CNM is considered an Advanced Practice Nurse and TX Nursing Standards require that all APN's have a back-up doctor, not just MW). However, I never saw him. I…
Aimee McDonald-Anderson replied to Jane Doe's discussion 'Are OB appointments necessary?'
My midwife was also a RN, so she could order an ultrasound or anything else that came up. I didn't see anyone else and feel I got better prenatal care than my friends and clients who saw OBs (I teach pre/postnatal mind body fitness)
If you have…

I also wanted to mention that I could get lab work and an ultrasound with my midwife.
