Dear Anjelina,
First of all, plese put a topic in your subject line.
But ,more importantly, if your first doctor was OK with you, just keep doing 
whatever you are doing. Remember, the focus is on the new baby. If the 
people have questions, just answer them calmly and to the best of your 
ability. It can be a scary time for you as you really don't know quite what 
to expect, but in my opinion, making as little a deal about yourself and 
your blindness as you need to will be the best medicine. They will be 
monitoring you perhaps more than usual if it is a new hospital not because 
you are blind but because they don't know you and want to be best prepared 
for the baby's arrival. Take good care of yourself, and I hope this change 
is a positive one for you.
Sharon
