The Return of Dr. Grandpa!

One of the best decisions we made with my care during this pregnancy was getting away from BHOI. If we hadn't, they would have induced me at 37 weeks because of spiking pressure, I'd probably have had a c-section and we'd have risked our little boy having respiratory problems at birth because he wasn't ready.

I also want to clarify that it wasn't labor and delivery that we had a problem with at BHOI. It was the docs and midwives in the clinic. I've heard that the nurses in L&D are fabulous and would far prefer to go there over The Baby Factory, but that's not how things worked out.

The scars from our experience at BHOI are still red and raw. We think we'll at least be angry about what we went through there until LB is here, if not longer.

We've found a post partum doula who will do it for low-cost. She's fabulous and we're very excited. She came to being a doula after her step sister gave birth...at BHOI. We were talking to her about her sis' experience, which was pretty negative and sounded similar to what we were facing at BHOI: high bloop pressure, over 35, early induction with a poor outcome and her sis had diabetes as well. Out of curiosity I asked which doc was responsible for the travesty of her sister's birth, and she said....

DR. GRANDPA!

Now, in many ways Seattle is a small town, but it's NOT. We cannot escape that man.

Nurse M. says I have to stop blogging about Dr. Grandpa because he's spiking my BP. Grrrrr.
