May Day.

Today we had our first midwife interview. This one was about the home birth. We met at a nice tea house before heading to her office.
We were with her for about an hour and a half. This was about as much time as I would spend in total with an OB-GYN over the next four months. We are getting clearer about what we are looking for, both in a maternity and in a labor experience.
I think like most parents-to-be, the most important thing is to maximize our probability of having a healthy baby.

Tomorrow our information-gathering process continues, as we head out for an interview with the nurse-midwives at the hospital out of town.
