That's good to know. I delivered there too and remember asking what the rate was when I was pg, I think they said it was around 40%(?) but that it was on the higher end because it's where the high-risk deliveries happen. I wonder where that original article got its data that it stated such a high number.

Yes, it's interesting. After talking to my ob/gyn about it she talked to administration. I was very impressed that she made such an effort to discuss this with high-up people and wrote to me with update. I had written an email because I'm 39 weeks along and just came down with a head cold from hubby. She let me know some things that could help. 

Yeah that's impressive. I'm glad they're taking good care of you, I had a great experience there throughout my pregnancy, birth and beyond. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you! I dislike how colds (at least for me) get so much worse at night. Yesterday was day 1.5 of cold, and i was sleeping, gardening and cooking, but last night was so uncomfortable. I have a list of medicines that are safe to take during pregnancy, so I may get some tomorrow just to help sleep through the night. My jaw and throat ache a lot! I get emotional and tired when sick. :( on a positive note, her due date isn't until 29th so she may hold out long enough for this to peak, and now that we picked her name I am very focused on the next stage of actually raising a daughter. Having a name opened up daydreams for me that I had not had before, like her girl scout uniform with her name on it, learning to write her name, etc. it's a cool experience!

Congratulations!!  I just wanted to chime in how cool it is that you have a leap day EDD!  I always thought it'd be so cool to have a leap day bday :)  My bday is end of February, but I was still a whole year off of a leap year.  Anyway, lots of luck to you!

Thank you for checking back in on that! hope the end of your pregnancy is smooth!
