It will be different to deliver here, but I think we're going to have a good relationship with the hospital, so I think it will go well.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857643441730820081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187149011064711436.post-81293333621646859282012-04-01T22:07:46.036-07:002012-04-01T22:07:46.036-07:00Thanks!

I hope all ends up going well with your delivery as well.<br /><br />I do know that they are very pro c-section in general here. The hospital we've chosen is a small Chinese hospital, but it is quite unique in that they have a very low c-section rate (lower than the US national average in fact) and are also pro early breastfeeding. Their more natural stance I believe actually comes from the fact that they are mainly serve lower income women. However, we know the administration and they aren't trying to get a lot of money out of us either.<br /><br />I think what they really want is pictures of a happy pregnant foreigner, and later pictures of a happy foreigner and her foreign baby, and their doctors. This would be quite valuable to them and I think they'd do a lot to make sure we're happy.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17857643441730820081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187149011064711436.post-54962830315017601672012-03-31T10:26:11.784-07:002012-03-31T10:26:11.784-07:00Wow!

I hope the later as you'll find it more like what you are used to...I don't have that option where I live and am getting nervous as I'm 34 weeks and they want to do a c-section now. If you didn't alreay know, they are very pro c-section as it brings in more money and lessens the chance that women will get pregnant again. <br />I *hope* all goes well with your pregnancy and that your boys continue to be great helpers! We almost ended up moving last month, too, but after moving last year and the fact we'll have to do it again when our house is completed in 3-4 years, we decided to just pay more for rent and stay put.<br />take care!charlottehttp://www.chinesepotpourri.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187149011064711436.post-9304494175066737342012-03-30T09:27:28.523-07:002012-03-30T09:27:28.523-07:00Yay!!!
