We were supposed to have our first pediatrician meeting this week. We are only interviewing two, one male and one female - and the female is also a lactation consultant. In both cases, we only have 15 min meetings with the docs. That really isn't enough time to go through all of the questions I have to ask. It's nearly not worth going - but w/e.
Anyways, the reason why we were supposed to me but didn't was b/c an hour before our appointment, I received a call cancelling the appointment! I was pretty upset for the extremely short notice - but i don't really know what's going on. we'll see.
We also had our first doula interview this week. LaNette gave me a few choices and the first option is already full, so I went to the second choice. Well, it was pretty horrible. The girl is very new (which is why we are seeing her b/c she's charges at least 1/2) but she's just seems TOO NEW. She's seems to be lacking a lot of confidence. It was almost awkward. As soon as she left, dan and I just had to look at each other and we new this wouldn't work. I fell a little bad not hiring her b/c I know what's it's like to need people to give you a chance, but in the case of my birth - I just can't do it. I will be probably in my most week and vulnerable state and I need everyone in that room to have at least as much confidence as me and preferable a lot more!! LaNette commandeered her and now i'm a little skeptical of the other recommendations. So, for the rest of the interview, i went out and did a search on my own. So, we have two more doula interviews next week. One lady actually sounds too good to be sure - she's been in the practice since 2008 and she's certified in infant massage, labor and delivery acupuncture, a lactation consultant, and she's a teacher in the bradely method. Yikes.
