Haven't seen her around, maybe she's hiding out like I usually do so she doesn't feel stalked lol

Haven't seen her around, maybe she's hiding out like I usually do so she doesn't feel stalked lol
Hospital scare tactics started in earnest... and I never even called them!
Anyone around ladies, need some positive reinforcement here...and some knOb slagging! lol
I'm here :)
Whose doing this?
LIME!
I hope those Knobs are leaving you alone. I cant believe the tools would actually HARRASS a woman on the verge of labour (well actually I can imagine them stooping that low). I mean seriously, how is that ethical!? What are their "concerns" for you exactly?
Oh my goodness! I can't believe they're harrassing you! The hospital I'm booked into (in case I go early again) has my due date at 19th instead of my date the 24th.. and I asked my midwife - they won't hassle me when it comes to that due date will they? She said they wouldn't. Now you've got me worried! LOL.
I hope they leave you alone and don't end up stalling labour! I don't think I know your history actually.. were you under OB care, but planning a home birth? How does that work?
ohhhhh that is sooo sneaky of them!!!! grrr! i hope that it is all ok for you and you feel safe and supported regardless of their attempts at fear-mongering...remember, you are a birthing mama, your waters have broken your baby will come...
if they are harrassing you for the waters thing, tell 'em to shove it! a heap of research has come out stating that it is more than ok and normal to let labour initiate within 5-6 DAYS....
you are perfect and your baby has been baked to perfection. xx
Hello ladies!
Congratulations once again Lime! Hope you're enjoying those previous newborn cuddles!
I'm having a great day today! Had my first appointment with my midwife to see if I'll be accepted into the CMP and it's a big fat Y.E.S! Woohoooo! I just have to get my backup hospital to acknowledge that it'll be happening (and not object, which they have no reason to) and it's all go. Yay! Feeling very relieved! She has started an active management plan (3rd stage, to prevent PPH again) already so feeling alot more confident about the whole thing. I will be having a student midwife again aswell. Also got to listen to bub's heartbeat which was great!
My midwife is lovely, very down to earth. It's strange to think I'll be having a baby with a different midwife this time but I have lots of time to get used to it!
Hope you are all well and all the new bubs are thriving!
Xxxx

I wouldn't bother stalking yet lol
I mean technically I'm getting close to the 4 week countdown but we all know it will be closer to the 6 week mark. Getting lots of period type cramps lately though, urgh. No fair when my contractions didn't even feel like that!
Tuesday marks the start of the insertion of EPO and peri massage. Joy!
I always feel that way Mel, why oh who do i need months of BH when labour doesnt even last that long!
Thanks for the TMI re EPO and peri massage!
