This was a DIY pants off appointment. The clinic we are going to do incorporates prenatal care with the prenatal class. Anyway, Tuesday night was more about labour, doulas and GBS testing. GBS testing ain’t rocket science and we were all given kits and sent the washroom. No big production, no monkey around with my lady business, just me and a giant q-tip. I like this place. They avoid messing around with you unless it is necessary. I also pee on my own sticks for glucose testing, take my own blood pressure and weigh myself.

The do-it-yourself attitude is very cool…my midwives did that as well.
You’re (we’re) almost there!

I wasn’t aware that DIY pants off existed. We’re allowed to touch down there without a medical degree?
Kidding aside, it sounds very cool!

lol I also did my own stuff while on bedrest in the hospital (or should I say my wife did) only we were supposed to have a nursing staff to do it… Lucky you are on the greener side of this grass!
