That's so beautiful, Dotface!! Posterior births are the real marathons, none of that Olympics crap You worked hard for those snuggles!
You got to labour at home, it must have been a real comfort to do that uninterrupted before making the call to transfer.
I booked in as a back up with my local hospy, with a wonderful midwife who totally got where I was coming from. If I have to transfer there I think I will be comfortable with that.
For now, though, I'm on crutches, have a hydrotherapy physio and I'm skipping engagements that I know will make me miserable if there are stairs or hard chairs to sit on. 21.5 weeks, only about 20 to go of hopefully just maintaing where I'm at now (no point hoping it will get better before the birth!).
I've got a friend giving me a car seat, another with a cradle, I'll get my ergo and my cotton wrap sling back, and I need to clean up some other equipment soon before I can't bend to clean them properly. I can't really afford to leave that for much longer, this time round. A baby corner will have to be set up soon, too, because this mobility impairment lark will impact on my nesting activities closer to the time.
