Not so bad

The childbirth class turned out to be quite a pleasure- except for the uncomfortable chairs we had to sit on for 4 hours.
Other than that - the nurse was very nice and I did learn a whole bunch of things. My husband on the other side learned more things but i think that some of them he really didn't want to know. After watching the vidoe of actual childbirth I was a bit doubtful that we are ever going to have sex again (still not so sure). And now I know that he is definitely staying next to my head through birth.
I am still convinced that for some of the questions I had the nurse just said what I wanted to hear rather than the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It's OK- that's her job but I think it's better to say things as they are. When I asked her if they let you eat or is nothing by mouth after you are admitted- she said " we don't feed you" - which doesn't really answer my question. But when I cornered her later I figured they don't let you eat which doesn't make sense. The argument is that if you have to have a C-section there is a very small chance that you may have to go under general anastesia. Ususally you are just given an epidural or a local anastesia. If you have eaten or drunk anything in the past 8 hours there is a possibility that you may vomit and choke while under general anastesia. However if you need an emergency c-section and you have had a full meal 20 minutes earlier there is no problem, even if you have to be under general anastesia. I don't see the logic here, but hey that's just me.
I am not sure I really like my doctor any more( I don't actually get to see him much anyhow) I get examined by a resident and I have to ask her every single thing because she doesn't tell me. And I don't think they are very thourough. They are not going to do the Strep B test until I am 36 weeks and I just think that they should do that because I can go into labor and not know whether I have it or not and they will give me antibiotics regardless of whether I have it or not. They also haven't mentioned the RH test- I don't think it's necessary because both Jeff and I are positive but they don't know that and they should make sure that everythign is ok. Now that I think about it- I am pretty sure my dad is negative so there is a small chance she can be negative. But they should check and make sure.I think I am going to call them and make sure they check.
let me refrase that- I don't think that I like my intern.
