Interesting visit.
I pre-registered at the maternity center today where I'm planning on
having the baby. I had an interesting time signing a couple of forms on the baby's behalf. One consented to medical treatment and the presence of a nurse-in-training, another one acknowledged the receipt of the HIPAA paperwork. Why the baby needs a special form acknowledging receipt of paperwork he couldn't possibly read or understand I have no idea, but I suppose for legal reasons I must now dutifully present him a copy of the paperwork as soon as I see him, lol I also found out that I am Group B Strep positive during today's 37 week checkup. I have consented to penicillin during labor. I am happy with my doctor's position on the matter; she says the only intervention she'd want to take was if my water broke before I went into labor, and I did not then start labor within a few hours. She says normally she would give a good 24 hours or so after water breaking to see if labor would start on its own before proceeding with induction, but with GBS she would be more conservative and induce earlier. Since it's more likely my water will not break until I am already in labor, that shouldn't be a problem. |
