Week 33 Check-Up

We had a checkup and tour of St. Luke’s Hospital today. The appointment went well. We learned that the big bump on the right side of my belly near my rib is the baby’s butt! I have been having contractions and the midwife said that maybe I’m the type that is going to have contractions until I actually deliver. In any case we’re going to look into getting more rest and taking things easy.

The tour was great. The labor rooms are huge and they look really comfy! They have huge windows too for lots of sunlight. The post-partum rooms are also really comfy and have beds that can pull out for partners. Some even have double beds and the midwife said she often sees moms and dads sleeping in them together. We met a few nurses. We also met the lady that will help us with the baby’s birth certificate and social security card. I’m really happy we chose to birth there.
