The Midwife From Hell

Anansi is the newest edition to our family. Anansi just turned 1 on August 29th. He was born to midwives in a birth center located in a hospital. Anansi was born at 41 weeks.

During the time of my pregnancy with the twins Joann would give me lists of things to be purchased for the home birth. Sometimes is was different herbs and supplements. At other times it was the birthing pool and all the equipment that comes along with the pool. Lets not forget to mention the birthing kit. The birthing kit including things that would be need on the day of the birth. Every time Joann came to visit me I gave her money. I can recall writing receipts for $300 for every visit.Some of money covered items needed like the hearing test and the blood work for newborns to test for abnormalities.
