it was great because this was the first time i got to meet one of the midwives who is going to attend the birth. she is so down to earth and friendly. she said it is up to me if i want to do the glucose screen and i refused it. she figured i would since i have no history of GD and show no signs so far.
she again reassured me that if i reach a point that i feel i can't handle things without meds or epi during labor, they will follow me to the hospital right away. jamie is considering "catching"
. i made the mistake of asking about the placenta. 
apparently, it is illegal to transport human tissue or to throw it in the garbage because if someone finds it, police will have to investigate 
sooooooooo i have to bury it in the backyard. 
two problems... 1. i only rent this house and i am sure the landlord will have a heart attack if i dig a 3 ft hole anywhere and 2. i am due dec 21!!!! dead of winter!! ground will be frozen at the very least 4 months!!!!!! 
so i asked her what i was supposed to do and she said freeze it 
omg, i am gonna have to move the placenta over to reach my ice cream *shudders*. that is a little gross imo! i am so gonna have to see if we can buy a separate freezer or something lol. can you imagine.... "honey, what is this steak you are bbq'ing? i didn't buy steaks this week. 
yay!! 
You are all too funny! I've never had a home birth, so I don't know anything about what to do with the Placenta! But the whole thought of having a placenta in my freezer would creep me out.
