Midwife’s assistant called me and left a voicemail making excuses about why no one had called me yet. I like the assistant, but it feels like the midwife’s having her do her “dirty work” for her. I’m going to send the assistant a FB message later. I don’t have the energy to talk to her on the phone.

I’m not sure I want to see either of them at this point. I’d just be rehashing the most difficult parts of my birth and breastfeeding so far. And I’m sure I’d get some asinine suggestions for breastfeeding that completely ignore what I’ve already done or isn’t specific to my problem. I don’t want to sound like a know it all, but I’m tired of some of the suggestions I’m getting when I’m not asking for any help. I know people mean well, but it’s tiresome to rehash. In my pregnancy they both treated me like I had no clue about common problems and how to deal with low supply even though I talked them through what happened. That midwife does NOT listen. She also had no idea what domperidone was and discounted it as an aid I’m guessing because it’s not an herb.

I am tempted to ask only the assistant over, but I’d definitely want to call to explain why first.
