My perception of Jennifer when I was there, I thought she had been a midwife for years. She acted like she knew everything. She totally acted like she ran the show. And I felt super confident in her because she acted like that. I was blessed to have a good first pregnancy. I did not have crazy morning sickness. The second trimester is always seemingly the easiest.

I was very fatigued my first trimester and that shook me because no one ever talked about that. I had low iron at one point. Instead of just giving you like an iron supplement, at least for me, they had a regimen, which is why people go there. They have a more holistic regimen. I was on chlorophyll and sesame seed oil and...

various other random supplements that a traditional OB would never probably put you on. Per my lab results, it actually did help. I could see with my own eyes the numbers. It made me believe that they knew what they were doing. It affirmed my trust and that you could have the same effect health-wise doing it that way versus doing like a more pharmaceutical approach.

My pregnancy was low risk and there were a lot of things going on. It was easy stuff like testing the baby's heart rate or I can feel the head over here and the feet here. It seemed to corroborate what I was feeling as far as kicks or where the pressure was or stuff like that. So it was quote unquote easy stuff like that.

There was never anything that would have tested more in-depth knowledge per se. I really had an uneventful pregnancy, the bigness at the end. I wanted to cry every evening that he didn't come over 40 weeks because I was like, I can't do this anymore. Like, I feel so heavy and I can't breathe and I can't sleep. Those are minor complaints compared to what a lot of people have.

They ask you all of the permissions, your birth plan, all that stuff before you even show up the day of your labor and delivery. And they at one point asked me if it was OK to have a student observe several months of care with origins. I said no to that question. And I honestly really just don't know why. But they go through that birth plan every time you go in. And it was the last week or two.

Elizabeth asked me the student question again. Are you sure you don't want a student there? Yeah. And I was like, if it's going to help them learn, I'm open to that. But I distinctly remember telling Elizabeth that I was okay with having a student there to strictly observe, literally do nothing other than just be a fly on the wall. And she's like, yep, that's totally fine.

I'll put for observe only. That's it. Great. Move on. Did they have you register at a hospital just in case interventions were needed? No. Hindsight's 20-20. That would have been a smart thing to do. My baby was not head down. That was the big thing towards the end was, is he going to turn in time to be able to have a birth center birth? They talked about doing the aversions.
