Talked to neurologist. She's competent to order the blood tests but hasn't ever had a patient with a channelopathy--pretty obviously. Doesn't see a medical need for an epidural. Thinks I should get a protocol in place with anesthesiologist ahead of time.

 

Talked to perinatologist. Thinks OB/GYN is panicking for no reason. He had me dictate what I wanted into my file--HOORAY!--INCLUDING "No epidural unless requested." Haha! (He said he knows I know about my condition and what I need.)

 

He said, "It's your third baby. Just do what you did before. If they don't mess with you, you should be fine."

 

Uh-huh. And what was I saying?

 

Good thing is, my OB/GYN thinks he hung the moon, so she'll go along with anything he says.
