Thank you for your feedback. I already feel better! I am seeing my doctor in the morning and am going to share the birthing plan I prepared and see what his reaction is. Hopefully he can clear up anything the issue of hospitals and Dr.'s being mandated to do certain procedures like the silver nitrate drops. Some folks have told me they legally have to, which is absurd and infuriating, but maybe (hopefully) not true. I'll let you know what they say tomorrow! And thanks for your support, how refreshing!!!
