going full Jill.

I recently found out I'm pregnant with my 2nd baby. I'm currently 13 weeks along & HATING the Ob/gyn practice that is covered by my insurance, having already delivered a baby, and studying midwifery, I know there's better care out there than a clinic that doesn't call you back for 6 days and messes up appointment times habitually.  So I contacted a LM with good reviews and decided on a homebirth. We had a consultation yesterday & OMG i love this woman. She has attended over 370 births and has no qualms about hospital transfer as soon as it becomes evident it may be necessary. She carries oxygen, miprotisol, pitocin, and is trained extensively in infant resusitation. If hospital transfer becomes necessary, she stays with you working as your doula to make sure your birth wishes are followed. I get to have the waterbirth I dreamed of with my first baby and honestly I'm so happy. She recently opened the first free standing birth center in my entire county too and having a water birth there is also an option if I want to be closer to the hospital in case of transfer. I'm absloutely thrilled that this is something I get to experience.

I am a retired NICU nurse, so for me personally, I needed to deliver in a hospital setting. But given your situation, it seems like you are someone who might do well delivering @ home. Plus, unlike Jill, you have a proven history as you've already delivered a baby. You have covered all the bases; good for you and good luck!  I ended up with 2 c-sections-

      I don't think it's a genuine MCM. I think it's an imitation. A $6000 piece of forniture in perfect shape is not sold for $500. Yes, sometimes this happens, but I suspect Abbie is lying to appear as the smartest buyer. She is noot overspending, she is nooot spoiled, she is investing!

      Either it’s not genuine (anyone remember the “apothecary table” from Friends 😂), or she paid a lot more than she admitted. It’s easier to justify overbuying when you pretend every purchase was a major bargain.

      This sounds like Rachel had her baby. Or am I reading it wrong?

      That baby looks huge to be a newborn. But my newborn also currently wears preemie and only weights 6 pounds even tho was born at 38 weeks

      I posted about this in the new baby thread (I missed your post). It does look like Rachel had her baby. @JermajestyDuggar

      Per story on Kress's IG, Rachel Morton had her baby. Born the same day as Issa.

      I think Joy is one of the siblings that was critical of Jill when she pulled away from the family the way she did, and they may not have much of a relationship right now. Don’t see any interaction on social media, though I know we don’t see everything. That would be a shame if that was the case, especially since Jill was there for Joy when Joy lost Annabelle. 

      Jill was parentified and forced to provide parental like care for Joy. That adds a level of complexity to everything.
