tetanus shots & letters for delivery

went in for my check up today and was given the first of 3 tetanus shots. they are to prevent tetanus infections when its time to delivery the baby. no big deal to me as i am not afraid of needles and see such as useful precautions. i just thought i'd mention it here as a note of interest to whoever is reading. 


other than that, the check up went without issue. we listened to the baby's heartbeat which sounds like some kind of machine thumping through slush. we've also asked for info about what to do since BBB is interested in being in the delivery room. apparently, chong hua allows it but you need to get written consent from the hospital director and the head of the ob/gyne department. also, in case the delivery has to be a c-section, the father will NOT be allowed in the operating room. i've read (tho not in chong hua) of fathers/husbands to be going berzerk at the idea that the mother to be is about to be sliced open to get the baby out. not an ideal situation.
