Today, I went for my weekly midwife appointment at 9:20 am. After waiting for about 25 minutes, I wondered what was taking so long — usually by this time they have at least asked me to pee into a cup. Then I saw my midwife, Jenny, behind the reception desk — she looked really apologetic and said, “I have to rush to labor and delivery!” While I was rescheduling my appointment, a woman came out of the exam room area, obviously the one who was headed to labor and delivery. She was breathing pretty hard and didn’t look comfortable, but I was glad to see she had lots of family around her. What had happened, I wonder? Did she have a regular appointment and suddenly learn that she was dilated 6 cm? or did her water break during the exam? I’m really curious to ask Jenny on Wednesday.
When is OUR baby girl going to arrive??? We are having such a hard time waiting!
Definitely update us if you learn anything. (Though privacy rules will probably prevent Jenny from telling you very much….)
