Just looked on my hospital website, it doesn't say how much the rooms are, but if I have to stay in, I hope there is one free. I really don't want to be on a ward, so if they do try and make me go to the ward, I want my own room!

Current plan is to discharge myself once I'm done in the delivery suite, and not go to the ward at all.

Ooh I dunno if this can be done, anyone know?
I guess you can discharge yourself but they may want baby to stay for a bit, especially if it';s the middle of the night.

Good that you've got older ones to help out and OH will be around.
I know its not MSE but if you would feel happier then go for the private room

what date have they given you? in the meantime go to any complementary place you can and spend as much time as possible on your head! (I turned Chris by being upside down alot for a week 2 or 3 weeks before he was born :cool:)

i go in at 7.30am monday next week, will be 38weeks and 4 days...
i have quick labours so they dont want me to be left to long, my last labour was at 39 weeks and was in labour 10 minutes, so they dont want to risk it as hospital is 30 mins away !!

Feelie I supose you won't know until it happens, but they may think your some kinda mentalist when you say "I'm discharging myself" an hour after the bith. EDIT: I hope u kno what I mean there, I've just thought that might sound a bit "off" to you I just mean that its a very unusual thing to do and the MWs etc may think it was a sign of something being wrong with you, do you know what I mean?

I believe (but could be wrong) that you can't discharge baby yourself??
I'm not sure what would happen at my hosp as you are "locked in" only a MW can let you out (for security purposes)

My notes have a space for birth plan that has questions for u to answer do you have that or I can scan it in for you?

Sorry for making you say it twice I must explain to everyone I have dodgy glands in my neck that flair up at the slightest sign of a cold - which they have done at the mo so I can barely move my neck and its painful:rolleyes::mad:

Which is why I'm being really slow and missing bits!

but anywho back to you my lovely; Did they say bubs is folded in half or feet down? I'm assuming its bum first but if not you "should" be very capable of having a "normal" birth the risks of having a vaginal (feet first) breech birth are much lower if you have had previous children and your quick labours would also mean you should be capable of it

Omg, I've heard it all now, advert on telly for shampoo that gives your hair memory so that it remembers how it was styled last time!!!:cool:

You'll be screwed if you have a bad hair day the day you use it!

Hehe, I'm not going to be a mad lady and just run out with my baby, but I'm going to be pretty insistant that I not go to the ward unless absolutely nessercary. Hopefully they'll be alright with it, I know it can be done (thats what my Mum did). Sort of a compromise - as I'm not allowed a home birth, I'll deliver in hospital, but unless there is any real reason, I won't stay - if you know what I mean.
