Week 35

Went to the doctor yesterday and was told that my baby's neck is wrapped by the umbilical cord. Other than that the baby's position is head down already. According to an old Indonesian folk tale, if a baby girl is born wrapped in its umbilical cord she is going to be very pretty.

Decision

Here comes the days when I need to make a decision on where I want to deliver the baby at. I have been going to see my doctor at this one hospital, however, last week when I asked about the room charges for giving birth, this particular women and children hospital has the most irrational policy I have ever heard. The policy stated that when you come in to deliver the baby and the room that you requested is not available you will be given a lower class room while waiting. However, the lower class room will be charged the same as the room that you originally requested. What is that all about? It does not make any sense at all. If you requested a VIP room and its not available on the same day, the hospital will put you in a Class I room while you wait for the VIP room to be available...this may take a day or two. And you must pay for a VIP room charge for those one or two days just because when you check out of the hospital you would be checking out of the VIP room. Its insanity. So off I go to .... where the hospital room charge policy is flexible (yes, that was the exact word of the admission officer that I talked to).
