    I just had my 28 week appt last week and it was pretty routine. I didn't have any questions for her.

    Is there anything you're particular concerned about at this point?

    Normally when I go I have maybe 2-3 questions max, but for my appt on Wednesday I have a list as long as my arm.  I've been doing a lot of reading on childbirth since my last appt so most of my questions are geared toward that:

    - I'm going to have the midwife review my birth plan (basically a short list of bullet points of preferences) and ask her about a couple of things on it.

    - Going to ask her to go through the process of what typically happens from when I arrive at hospital to having baby, including the c-section process (I realize this is something a childbirth class can answer but I want to hear it directly from my practice)

    - What are the different birthing philosophies of the 4 doctors/midwives in my practice?  I could end up with any of them.  I know one or two already but, again, I want to hear it from this person.

    -  I am really curious to know if it is still common practice to pull on baby's head/twist his head to try to rotate him as he's coming out.  A lot of damage can be inflicted this way and my understanding is that it's entirely unnecessary to pull baby out by the head; the person delivering can simply wait an extra minute or two until he's pushed out a bit more before grabbing him.  If he needs to be repositioned, mom can change positions.
