Rups the aquanatal here is just advertised on the local council run leisure centre website. It is run by midwives though, which seems pretty common

ikkle - my midwife said if you can't get hold of a midwife or help from the labour ward go to the walk-in centre if you are concerned about anything at all. Is that possible for you?

I think it's just cos of water retention hun sure it's nothing to worry about. I can't get back to town now anyway as there is a mahoosive storm, just waiting for it to quieten down a little before we head home, hope my fur baby isn't too scared of the thunder and lightening.

The kitten scratched my leg and where it scratched me this morning instead of blood its leaking water. It's still leaking now. There wasn't anyone available to talk to at the hospital - 2 babies were born while we were there and my midwife is on holiday.

That's what my leg was like when I had the insect bite - I think all the fluid/inflammation interferes with the natural clotting process and just keeps seeping. In the end I stuck a sterile dressing over it and it healed up eventually once the swelling had gone down. Did leave a nasty scar though as it made a big hole when it went. I'd maybe get it looked at if it's still going in the morning - just in case it's an infection risk.

Rups I googled aqua natal and my town and it showed up different classes.

zcrat, you made me laugh. I should add brunette, dark eyes, etc.. lol I just do it cos we all chat here and we are all at different stages. Sadly mums are like that, arent they ? i can just imagine mine telling me all sorts of things.

Rupps, yes it will be helpful, so when people want to give advice, it is easier to know how far that person is.

Anaesthetic review - I'm to be given an epidural as early as possible, if they have any difficulties then a Senior is to come and try but there is no guarantee. If I need any operative help - ie forceps/ventouse/section and the epidural hasn't worked then they will try Spinal Block. I'm only to be put under GA if it's an absolute dire emergency as despite having had operations in the past due to pregnancy etc I'm at a much worse risk. I've to see the actual consultant on Wednesday not one of her staff and be taken off of my medication and discuss induction as I can now try natural birth

Very positive appointment xx
