Fiona - if your physio isn't affiliated with the hospital, it is going to be difficult... encourage her to get affiliated!
Re: DVT's - don't stress. There are exercises you can do in bed but there is also medication and TED stockings
Now, I know how independent you like to be but here is what I'm going to say. And don't just say no because I wouldn't put this offer on the table if it wasn't doable for me or genuine... I work VERY close to where you are going. VERY VERY CLOSE. I am more than happy to pop over before/after shift and help you with bubs. I'll sit quietly in the corner and do what you'd ask DH to do if he can't be there. If, by chance, you are birthing on a Tuesday, you can have me all day because I don't work Tuesday's If you just want someone to hang so DH can go home and feed DD and get her into bed, that's fine too. With a bit of co-ordination, I can get a shift that will allow us to work out what's best for you. I birthed at St V's and am fully aware of how they work so if you say no and then change you're mind, it's not an issue. You can have my mobile and just SMS or call. Honestly, I work scarily close In fact, you'll probably have prime view of where I park my car!
Oh MG, you're such a bloody gem. You know it's not in my nature to say, "that's great, I'll see you at x time," because I have to think about it 100 different ways first. Let me have a chat with DP - I still think it might be easiest to get DD sorted with a nanny/babysitter because at the end of the day she WILL be fine and it's only for one night. I am currently scheduled for a Tuesday but that could change depending on if they want DD2 out earlier because of my GD. My tummy is the size of a small elephant at the moment
I really, really appreciate all that info and your very kind offer.
Of course! And I don't expect an answer now. But know you have OPTIONS. And you can let me know whenever. If you think it's something you might want, just let me know and I'll PM you my mobile number. Don't worry, I'm not an axe murderer... I may get called Nurse Ratchet but I'm no seriel killer It's your decision to make and your decision will be respected.
