Oh yeah!

I know I'm ready....but of course, I'd like her to wait until two weeks!! If she's born at 36 weeks, we'll get shipped off to Spokane because the hospital here cannot accommodate a baby younger than 37 weeks.

Wow...this is interesting....

Wow! That's really interesting! I read that blog occasionally, but I hadn't seen that information by state or by hospital before!

Are you going at Mid-Valley Hospital?? If it makes you feel better, the hospital I delivered my daughter at has a C-section rate of 36.9%

and I still somehow managed to go vaginally (although maybe that explains the "you won't be able to do it" comments I got before, and the "I was expecting to be called in to take you to C-section, not deliver your baby!" comments I got afterwards.

Thanks for sharing!

I just found the C-section rate for my hospital here - 14%

And I was more worried about this hospital than the one back in CA!!

Thanks for the link. I'm delivering at Swedish-downtown Seattle which is at exactly 1/3 given those 2009 stats. They are supposed to be 'the hospital' to deliver at and have a great reputation. We'll see... I had a foot surgery there in 2008 and wasn't impressed. It is supposed to be #1 in the child birth dep't though.

I need to start looking into childcare. Any ideas on where to start? Would be 2-3days a week- hoping for a private (family) daycare.
