I'm good. I think I just got too hot and a bit dehydrated yesterday. Kind of dreading tomorrow though. I know its not a CS or anything but I'm already feeling sick about getting a sweep done:o

I had a real panic and got really work up on Friday about D-Day. But I have a plan - Wayne and I are going for hypnobirthing and accupressure classes on 7th & 8th March and I've been and sorted parentcraft classes out for 18th & 25th March so I feel a little more in control. I also saw one of the anaesthetists about epidurals / spinals and General Anaesthetic in delivery and I feel a bit better about that. I still have to decide whether to opt for a C-section or go the natural route but I think overall I'm more empowered with knowledge today so will opt for a natural birth after induction.

Saying that it'll be just my luck for Evie to lie transverse or obliquely so I have to have a C-section

Snaggles - I too wondered if that's how the box arrived or if they were the instructions:o

It came in a little white box, In side it was a little pee jug and what to do with it and stuff. On the letter it said it was doing it for the age range 16-24. Im 24 and went to my doc a couple of months ago bout bad back lol Nothing to do with sex!!!1 lol

Thanks hun. I know I don't have to have it done but if it moves things along and avoids induction so much the better. The less interference required the better. The nerves are a side effect of happenings in an earlier life IYSWIM:o

Cat - we did hypnobirthing classes and think they were fantastic. Even if the exercises and practice doesn't result in the almost silent birthing they show on their videos it'll be worth it - I will be using the self hypnosis technique to avoid completely freaking out tomorrow...

Luc - I've heard a few "sweep" tales and Jenny told me it was a bit like having a smear but with a bit more pressure!!

But as Jinky says they can't force you to have it if you don't want it.

I think there must be a campaign on at the moment - there were a couple new posters and leaflets in the docs surgery last time I was down about clamydhia (sp )

I just got a letter. I guess they send out letters and/or tests if you've just been to the doctor's and fit into the age range. Glad they didn't send me a test, I think I'd have died of shame if my housemates saw that! :eek:
