One more week and I'm eligible to deliver with my midwives at the Missoula Birth Center! 37 weeks is the earliest they will accept. Such a cozy place. After I give birth, I get to go home as soon as I can stand and walk, eat a meal, nurse baby, and am not bleeding too much. They said 8 hrs is the max time anyone needs to hang out, otherwise there's something else going on that needs hospital attention. My sister-in-law thought that was odd, but there's no drugs involved or anything that would delay normal recovery.
