I am 35 weeks pregnant (maybe even a lil more…) and all I have to report is I threw up last night. Lol, ok, I have more than just that to talk about, that’s just the most recent event.
At my last appt, the midwife asked if I was going to take a hospital tour. I told her we live an hour away, and don’t have a nearby sitter, so we weren’t planning on it. In this conversation I learned that there is no “birthing center”. She also said it was very old and run down. The husband gets a chair, and I room in with someone for recovery. Now I know I’m no princess and I’m not looking for any star treatment, but this did come as a shock to me. With our other deliveries we had a maternity center in the hospital, visitors welcome at anytime, and husbands now have a couch bed. Same room for labor, birth, and no rooming with another patient afterwards.
I can go ahead and assume that the reason I care so much about this is because I’m pregnant, hormonal, nesting, etc. But also, it might be because I’m having a hospital birth and want it to go as natural as
possible, which requires my comfort and a calm state of mind. This is something that doesn’t always happen if your Dr and nursing staff aren’t on board and instead follow the modern textbook way of
birthing as a business and not a blessing and natural God given ability.
Another reason is that I am an hour and a half away from my mom to get up to us to wach the kids, and then another hour away from the hospital. I would like them to have access to come see me, but this is not possible with the distance and hospital set up.
I’m Totally out of my comfort zone on this! First and foremost,I ask for prayer to get out of this spoiled like mentality and just go with the flow the Lord already has planned for me. I pray for a blessed and nurturing nursing staff as well. In fact, I even pray I can just drive to our old hospital where the other two were born an hour and half away and have my mom and the kids right around the corner.
All hospitals have to take you anyway, right?

So weird you threw up last night. I was so carsick on our date last night and then felt yuck all day today
On your date!? Oh man…..
Praying for you these last few weeks! I was worried about all of the details that had to align for our birth as well. My husband kept reminding me that it would all work out. And it did. God’s plans are perfect.
Thank you Carrie. And congratulations on your baby girl.
Praying for you Jacie! Your situation doesn’t sound ideal, but just remember that God will work out the details. He has a plan!
Thank you very much Sarah. You’re right , now I just need to focus in His word.
Oh Jacie I feel for you! I remember through all my pregnancies heading for the homerun and just feeling impatient for baby to come. I heard it said somewhere, I believe it was Nancy Campbell of Above Rubies this is the only time you get to carry your baby under your heart.
So enjoy this last few weeks of carrying your baby under your heart and not having to share your little with anyone else yet.
Jacie,
How are you holding up? I thought about you today because tow of my teen daughters left today with our church youth group to Ponderosa Pines Christian Camp up in Big Bear. I don’t know how far away that is from you all. Anyway, still praying for you as you hit the home stretch.
Oh how cool, that’s in Green Valley Lake, about 20-30 min from me. I’m a mess right now, thanks for asking
lol, I’m just achey, swollen and more achey. Sothankyou for those prayers, they’re needed!
