I think I said in an earlier post that I had a strong feeling that it was a girl. Don't know why (we've never even met), but I just felt it was a she. <br /><br />My grandma so badly wanted a daughter, but she only had sons. She told me once because a daughter would have been nice so she had someone to confide with. Her boys were sweet, but she always wished for a daughter. <br /><br />I'm glad to hear that baby is kicking the crap out of you... I mean... wait that came out wrong ;) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656770582077959796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852337025953891596.post-7991481979091198792017-10-31T18:56:55.580-07:002017-10-31T18:56:55.580-07:00This makes me so happy!

As others have noted, lots of people like to give advice and one just has to learn to smile and let it go. In fairness, our doula is pretty alternative too, but she respects boundaries and is committed to providing the kind of support we want, so it’s ok. I’m not paying her to agree with my politics, but for her skills. I hope it works out for you, just don’t let anyone make you feel guilty or anxious about your decisions, because you don’t need that drama.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852337025953891596.post-64371435933694666792017-10-29T10:38:39.504-07:002017-10-29T10:38:39.504-07:00Yeah Hebammes are sort of like doublas, that's...Yeah Hebammes are sort of like doublas, that's probably the best way to describe them. This one who will be supporting us after the baby is here won't be there for the actual birth though. I think you get whichever one is at the hospital that day. Yeah, I've already noticed lots of people giving advice about different things. I think just trusting your instincts can help! That's so true about how after dealing with infertility we have learned to manage the anxiety and focus on how grateful we are to be pregnant with everything going well! I'm not going to worry about the ultrasound comment. That's great that Italy has such low infant mortality rates! xxdublinerinDeutschlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804856792598440633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852337025953891596.post-69471967208178507042017-10-29T10:32:33.875-07:002017-10-29T10:32:33.875-07:00yes it's really special!

The hebamme does sound a little odd, but remember, just like with infertility, lots of people want to give you their 'advice' and they are not world experts (hebamme are doulas yes?). Remember, just like with useless infertility advice, ignore it and don't get wound up by it as they know nothing about you and your experience. I think what we have been through makes us better able to manage our anxiety than 'normal' pregnant people, and we are much better at focusing on behind positive and thankful to be pregnant. And the ultrasound thing is rubbish. I get an ultrasound at every check up here in Italy (it is normal here) and they have one of the lowest infant mortality rates and longest life expectancies in the world.
