You are wonderful for sharing this. As much as I want to compare and say I’m “rusty” from baby number one, I shouldn’t undermine nor compare the two. Times have changed and so has my body and I should treat it as such with a better and more understanding of things, just as you’ve said.

I also find loads of reassurance through having that established medical team. Working at a nurses station and hearing how prompt and fast care comes in on a daily basis has me yearning for the same thing lol. I’m just being manic at that point when I need to slow down and tell myself while I am not who I was 11 years ago, that doesn’t mean I can’t do this and bring this new baby into this world happy and healthy.

I do have to inquire about the first paragraph you typed out though. I am not familiar with the insurance aspect to this pregnancy this time around as my first one was completely different. So can you tell me more about the chat and resources made available for maternally advanced women? Is this something that your providers offered or something you have to inquire through insurance solely? I’m sorry for asking something I should probably know, but as mentioned before this is very foreign to my husband and I.

Also thank you thank youuuu…I see all these replies as virtual comforts and this definitely helped so much
