why are people asking if i would return to the united states to give birth? The united states, which does not automatically give everybody a midwife (let alone TWO), which does automatically give me a highly medicine-intervention-orientated doctor, which does not fully expect me to stay in the hospital with lots of support from said automatic midwife for five days, which does not have anywhere near universal in-rooming, which has weird ideas about all sorts of things, which does not give me insurance, and on top of which, do you really think i'd get on an overseas airplane with either a full term pregnancy or a newborn if i didn't have to? and what i want to say, but don't, is, are you fucking insane? No. No. No, i'm not going back. But i can't help giggling at them a bit. More and more every time someone asks.

If the scale at work is right, though, a doctor with a little bit better english would be nice. and while they don't recommend quite as much weight gain here, i'm feeling behind the curve, and the current doctor is very jolly but hasn't given me any guidance at all. Though i should probably call my three-in-the-afternoon strawberries and yogurt and walnut-croissant-thing "tea" instead of deliberately turning even more into a hobbit.
