My midwife fired me. Apparently a vbac delivery is not included in the Department Of Defense "Uncomplicated Pregnancy" guidelines. I didn't realize that my body was subject to DOD guidelines, partially because the Coast Guard is part of the Department of Homeland Security. That's okay, though. I'm going in with an extensive birth plan, and a t-shirt that says "my doula has my back." Ironically, I was reassigned to a Nurse Practitioner who used to be a midwife. That's just dumb. What's even dumber is that when I go in to give birth, I can call the midwife to deliver the baby. I don't have to have an OB or an NP. It's just that the DOD won't let a midwife do my prenatal care. Prenatal care, by the way, consists of weighing me and asking me if I have any questions. Duh.
In other news, I watched every episode of Flight of the Conchords, and some twice. That is the best show ever.
