You are right Kara! JJ and I were actually talking last night about how we didn’t like the doctors we went to with Sariah but we felt like we had no choice because they were the clinic that our insurance covered the most. The doctor who delivered Sariah is actually here in Provo now.

Wow, your first Dr sounds like an jerk Melissa Those may be their policies, but it wouldn’t be against the law to have a waterbirth or refuse the IV and monitoring. I hate when Drs lie about stuff being “law” when it’s really just “policy” and they don’t let you know you have the right to refuse treatments.

I have a Jet tub in one of my bathrooms so maybe I should give birth in there next time!

Very interesting, Melissa. When I had Maddy I was given the cordless monitors so I can sit in the jet tub. They’re waterproof too. While it was a nuisance having it on, the jet tub felt good. lol.
