On August 1, 2013 we met our midwife Debra Studey.
Here is what a midwife is all about, and also a picture of Deb!
In the Milwaukee birthing community, Deb is pretty much regarded as a legend or rockstar.
Midwife Royalty if you will ;)
One of the tests/exams a midwife does each time you meet with her is to listen to the fetal heart tones.
They do this with a little ultrasound Doppler that is connected to a device that allows you to hear the heart beat of the baby.
Well, Deb was unable to hear the baby's heartbeat! Which didn't worry her, she said sometimes when fetuses are so tiny they can hide easily and not be able to be found. We scheduled to come back a few days later to try to hear the heart beat again. It was a long couple days for us!
