Thoughts on HMC birthing facilities?

[YurtGirl]

Pog, I'm sorry, and with as much respect as I can muster after your ill thought statement, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. I am probably in the LEAST narcissistic state of my life. Everything, Every. Thing. Is now not about me. It is about this little child. It is a blissful state and intense, but I'm not a raving lunatic pregnant woman. I hope that's not the slant you were trying to give there, I will ASSume you were trying to say something else but it just didn't come through well. I went in the last appointment with my husband, with several very common questions and a few common things that we wanted our doctor to know regarding our preferences. I do not mistake the likelihood that everyone I am working with in the process has the good of the child in mind, nor do I plan to discount their vast experience and recommendations except when it goes against my core. Sometimes what they think is best and what ten others think is best are scattered across the board and it is my role, ultimately my responsibility, to make informed decisions on the babe's and my behalf. That should not be discounted, and I should not be stereotyped into a role of lunatic, control freak, hormonal, narcissist, demanding, etc. just because I am asking questions and making decisions.
