You're soo right! In the hosp where I had my daughter there's rather a large midwife who to be quite frank was a complete c** to me the whole night telling me that the straps to that horrible heartbeat tracer thing they strap you up to didn't fit right cause of my belly...I had to tell her that there was room to spare and they were only not fitting right cause her fat fingers were in the way!! I know it's not funny but I was sore at the time and she annoyed me, I would never have dreamed of saying anything like that before but looking back it was a wee bit comical!!

Ahaha :rotfl: I would of laughed so much if i witnessed that lol. It sounds like something i would say, when i get really stressed i get annoyed and snap at people lol.

Hang on... they are taking a seat off a pregnant woman... ehh what exactly are they expecting you to do?? Stand up all day? If they send you home btw it better be on full pay!

Finally have somewhere to sit
The reason i had to move is because we originally where sitting in a different department as our department ran out of spaces. And then the other department said they want the seats back. So we had to be found somewhere else. I did ask to go home and they said no, they did find us some seats but they weren't available until 2:30pm so they sent me off on a paid 30 min break

Have a seat now on another department, have to move again at 7pm lol.
Ridiculous really isn't it? :rolleyes:

Could be Glam, if your bump went hard... I was getting them from really early on...

Tine, home birth? In my dreams! I don't know if it's NHS policy or just our local PCT policy, but they always do a home visit to discuss your birth plan (back page of your green notes) Is suspposed to be at 34 weeks, but seeing as last week was the first time since booking in I've actually seen my own midwife I'm having mine 2 weeks late... She could of seen me last week but insisted on coming after 'the kids are back at school' Which also annoyed me... My daughter's quite welcome to be here tyvm!

Have been using palmers cocoa butter to maybe try and moisturise the skin to make it a tiny bit more supple lol.

Tine - I agree with krystaltips that leaflet was more informatrive than the "lecture" I had from the "specialist" about being obese.

Hi all

Just a quick update!

Baby Toby born 19:40 on 15th April. 7lb 7oz and all healthy.

Went to the delivery suite to get BP checked on the evening of 14th, diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and wasn't allowed home! Slept overnight, then induced in the morning. Baby didn't like being induced and got quite distressed, so was prepped for C-Section. Doctor decided to give me an hour longer to try naturally, and managed to go from 5cm to 10cm in that hour and managed a natural birth! Had lots of gas and air and an epidural that didn't give full coverage. Was pretty trauamatic and high risk, OH thought he was going to lose both of us. Had two midwifes at all times, assigned just to me and they didn't leave the room for the whole labour. Usually had about 4 people in the room, lots of coming and going and going.

Will write proper story when I get a chance. He is a very sleepy baby and isn't latching on well so lots of feeding. Making progress though!

Persuaded them to let me home after 24 hours, glad to be in my own bed but feel a bit sick and achy, but suppose that is to be expected!

Have I missed anything?
