F/U to Delivery Loc. FINALLY a Decision????

amstep

So after finding out that next week my own OB will be out of town and this LO is low, head-on my pubic bone, and I'm 2 cm and softening, DH and I sat down and had "THE TALK" about finally making a decision on whether to deliver here or to drive 6+ hours home to deliver with my old OB.

When it comes down to it, I honestly don't care where I deliver.  I am fairly comfortable now with the fact that my platelets are going to fluctuate a little, but they're holding steady in the "YES EPI" range, but I still might have to fight for meds if they tank again.  So that's not really the decision making factor anymore (thought I could get better treatment at home, but it's prob going to be the same battle).  I also don't care WHO delivers me.  I thought that I would feel like going home after finding out the new OB is on vaca, but I'm totally comfortable with her partner (older, more experienced) delivering me.  I've heard great things about her.

So after some tears and wishy-washing, I finally realized that although I don't care where I DELIVER, I want to RECOVER at my house.  I don't want to be packed into my old 12 x 12 room at mom and dad's.  I don't want to live out of a suitcase with none of my stuff in the right place. I don't want to worry that DH won't make it there before delivery.  I want my own bed, my own shower (with handheld spray, which is wonderful after delivery) and I want to disrupt DS's routine as little as possible.  So I'm pretty sure.....dum dum dum....we're staying here! 

 Oh, and that Cinda B bag better be a good pattern, Dupont!!!

LOL.  Glad that you came to a good decision!

I think that's a wise choice.  There's nothing like sleeping in your own bed, and I definitely wouldn't want to be making a car trip this late in my pregnancy!
