I don't like hearing about people leaving us and not having HBsOur system frigging sucks. When the maternity services review first started a couple of years ago I put in a submission for publicly funded HBs and I had so much optimism that this birth would be one of those. The whole business has just gone backwards and gives us LESS choice. WTF?!!!
I'm full term today!!And my midwife leaves on holiday tomorrow
She'll be back in 9 days so no baby till after then. Gives us two more weekends to clean and prepare. Gosh HBs are much more work! With moving furniture, setting up birth pools, buying tap fittings, buying HB things like gloves and plastic sheets... there has been much more to do. We haven't done a single 'setting up the nursery' type thing this time though so saved our energy there I guess. My H got offered a job in Seattle so we'll be moving there in Feb next year which has killed the desire to even bother buying a cradle. Baby will spend time getting used to the kinderkot for day sleeps now instead
