That is not something that crossed my mind at the time, no. They're freaking helping you birth your child. It wasn't something that they say, hi, thanks for coming to Origins. Now I want you to understand the difference in licensing.

I primarily saw Amy. There was another midwife that worked there. I would see either of them, but primarily I saw Amy every appointment. And when I was at Origins, they were the only two. It wasn't a midwife mill. There wasn't a different one every single time. There was a receptionist. She was the one that would do billing and answering the phone and things like that.

There was a total probably three to four people in the facility.

No, I never met them. I never talked with them. I knew that Origins had a facility out in Fort Worth. I Googled it at one point. I think I saw those two ladies on the website, but I never talked with them.

Amy was very kind. I do want to make this note. I think that Amy is at her core is a very nice person. And I think she has good intentions, but I feel like something clouds her judgment because she doesn't want her reputation to be messed up. And so she'll take on some cases she probably shouldn't take on. The first half of my pregnancy, it was fine because it felt very typical.

It felt like I was having a smooth sailing pregnancy. When I first started with them, she said due to IVF, that they'll get me over to the MFM or the maternal fetal medicine doctor to do an ultrasound to double check things just to make sure everything's good. And I never saw an MFM. That never actually came to fruition. Here's how an appointment went.

You would go to the bathroom, you'd give a urine sample, you would get the dipstick, and you would dip that in your urine yourself. And then you would weigh yourself. You'd wait for the midwife. They'd come in to be like, I looked at your urine and everything looks fine. And what was your weight today? So you would tell them.

I hated that having to report your weight to somebody that's like, you look at it. I don't want to see it because at one point in my pregnancy, I started gaining six to seven pounds a week. And I didn't know that about preeclampsia, but that was a lot of weight gain in one week. And they would, for lack of better words, fat shame me and be like, what are you eating during the week?
