    Yup I saw an LC just before my first was born and it was great to have all that info stored up ready to use. I don't know why it isn't a routine part of pregnancy care. It'd be a great public health investment. So many people I know have given up due to lack of info/preparedness.

    Fionas will you have support with you at the hospital so you don't have to rely on the midwives to pass baby over? First c/s I skimped on painkillers and needed help for baby lifting, but the second I took the painkillers that were offered and was totally fine to lift her myself on the second day. Not sure how much the SPD will impact on you mobility though..? I guess it's hard to get any solid answers about that..
