Okay, so, PZ and I met Jan yesterday. Ummm... Why did nobody bother to tell me just how NICE she is?! From everything I'd heard about her being a bit intimidating, I was a bit nervous to meet her - but she was so warm! The only slightly intimidating thing she did was sit just a touch too close to me, which given she's going to be watching me give birth in December, isn't that big a deal The whole way back we just kept raving about how great we found her She even put on a dolphin birth video to distract Amelia. That was fun and slightly alarming (I wasn't expecting the birth part)

She shuddered when I said Ianto was born at the Northern, and begged me not to make her go there (), then we had a bit of a chuckle at a few things in my birth notes from them. I mean, who wouldn't find it at least slightly amusing that they wrote "seems depressed at situation" after observing me crying? Well, thank you Dr Obvious, I never would have known!

She did seem a bit tough on the student she was working with though. After asking me if I was going to have a 20w scan, she turned to the student and asked "why would I have asked that? What reason might a mother have for getting an ultrasound at twenty weeks?" - PZ and I were thinking it was forpeace of mind, considering we'd just been talking about Ianto, but she only meant in case one wants to find out the baby's sex. Poor student didn't know what to say, I felt a bit bad for her... But she certainly knows now
