I have to agree this heat is horrible. I am not very good in heat normally but am really suffering at the moment. Yesterday I nearly got into a fight with an oap in a car park so have decided that for mine and others safety I really shouldn't leave the house unless I have to until it cools down.

Hello ladies well I've had a traumatic 30 hours or so..... here's the story.... midwife came at 10.30 and did a membrane sweep, my waters went on the bed :eek: she said to call her when contractions were every ten minutes. Dan went to the shop... within 30 mins the contractions were coming every 7 mins so got her back and dan filled the pool. I gripped onto my living room door like a loon trying to breath through the pains... Then came the gas and air, i like it but NOT the scooby doo effect as i call it. I could hear what people were saying but on a time delay so i could predict the future and was laughing at everyone anyway i got in the pool with my gas and air 5-6 cm dilated. and then got urges to push.. was told to hang on,, but the urge got stronger. in all i was in labour for 3 hours and Mabel Lucy-Rose was born at 15.45 and was 8lbs 4oz. All was fine she was born into the water and she's perfect. I then got out the pool to deliver the placenta. it was intact and they manovered me to the couch to sit and breastfeed. my dd's came with my dad for cuddles and stayed for ten mins.. then dan got cuddles with Mabel. and then it all went wrong I hemoraged and was blues and twosd to the hospital (after fainting in the house thinking i was dying) i was told i had to go in cos i could have died. i was put on delivery suit and monitored. soent 24 hours in there and the staff were lovley and helpful and couldnt have asked for better care. they let me have my own room and were lovely. my iron count is v. low 7.8 if i faint anymore ive got to go back for a transfusion. but we are all home and doing well now. will post more when i get a chance. xxxxxx
