Standing in the kitchen, doing the dishes. OMG.

I've been having painful contractions all day, but really far apart - like 30-40 minutes between them.

About to call our doula and see what we should do. Holy crap, we are going to have a baby soon!

Not at all! Atlanta Medical Center with Intown Midwifery. I picked them because I want to go natural/low intervention, they have water birthing (which I still don't know if I will want to do but it's nice to have the option!) and it's like 10 minutes from our house.

So far I am mostly positive on the experience but I'm sure I'll have a more complete review soon!

Ok, I was thinking maybe AMC from what you had said. I have a friend who delivered there a few years ago and was really happy with it.

I think I'm going to be a little more high-intervention (Northside)

I am so excited for you! Hope things go well!!

Thanks everyone! We are staying home for now, timing contractions (still 10-15 minutes apart right now) and hoping to get some sleep before things get going for real, hopefully in the morning. (I really don't know how I'm going to sleep, but I'm going to try!)

Northside is supposed to be really nice - I'm sure you'll have a great experience there! AMC is a little more, uh, spartan in terms of amenities as far as I can tell. I am hoping our stay there is nice and short.
