Today feels like an off day for me. I'm trying to find a midwife that I can trust and will fully support what I want for my birth, and I was so happy to have another appointment with a different midwife but she calls me asks a couple questions and then shuts me down before even meeting me, getting off the phone with her made me so upset I couldn't stop crying. The things she said are making me think the birth I want to have and the birth my baby is crying out for is becoming seemingly impossible to do in Illinois. I really need to speak with my husband about this however he forgot his phone here! The only thing I can do is to keep looking and reaching out. Trying to stay positive.

well that's interesting for sure but you have your work cut out for you. I'm sure you will find someone to support your wishes though😊😊

It's not that they don't agree, I'm going for a completely natural drug-free birth along with a lotus birth (leaving the umbilical cord and placenta connected to the baby allowing it to detach on its own) I also don't want an ultrasound unless there's good reason that there may be something wrong and I can be recommended to a specialist, but just to see how far along I am and other basic information can be known by feeling the belly. The problem is she was telling me I'm too far along and there's too much unknown, she was very focused on what could be wrong and the negative and she adds "besides I'm booked for October anyway" when I said I'm likely due in November. I'm trying to learn more about homebirths and avoid a hospital setting because in a hospital they are not going to respect or allow a lotus birth, and that is something I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to me.
