Stupid hormones I can't stop crying.

I'd probably be upset without the hormones. But I was so excited because I decided I wanted a home birth and so I thought all midwives did that. But nope they don't. So I called one that does and guess what I found out that my insurance doesn't cover home births. I had my heart set on a home birth so bad. But nope that's not what I get. I'm so upset and my bf is at work and he's trying to comfort me through txt but it's not working. Theres a birthcenter an hour away that takes my insurance but I don't want to drive an hour for all my appointments and I don't want to drive an hour if I'm in labor. Okay rant over. I'm upset.

Well I have an appt on Monday at the midwife office and I'll be asking questions. I have an obgyn but haven't asked them about at least a birth similar but in a hospital setting because I thought I'd be able to get the home birth I want but I'll be asking them at my appointment on the 11th. And if my obgyn will work with me then theres no point in the midwife also. But if the midwife will give me more of what I want I'll be going with her but keeping my obgyn also just in case. I just really really wanted a home tub birth.

My hospital is just a little over an hour away. I hate driving there for appointments and I don't want to drive there for the birth either. But that's what we get I guess. Sorry you can't have the birth you want. Can you set up something similar with your dr?
