this is going to sound ridiculous (and if you knew me outside of being pregnant you would be amazed!) but I never even considered saying 'no'. how stupid do I feel??? this pregnancy has made me too soft !! ;-)


Right, so next visit (which is likely to be a different doctor anyway as every time it is a different one) I will be armed with a list of what I want to happen, or not happen and will challenge what they tell me. I have told DP what i want in terms of drugs and intevention but I know as soon as he sees me in pain he will want them to make it stop, so I had better make it clear to the doctors!

I talked to DP about being induced and he felt the same way as me. If the lodger wasnt ready to come out, making him come out early didnt feel right. I want my cervix to have as much time as it needs to fulfil its job. drips freak me out and putting anything in my spine makes me feel queasy, but if it comes down to it and there are problems, I will allow it all. I cant beleive I didnt think I could say no...........

Thanks to all of you for your replies. I was feeling a little overwhelmed and as usual BB has given me some knowledge and confidence to go forth with :-) thanks all!
