Thanks so much to you all for your thoughts and support. I had a big cry this morning feeling helpless about it all, then picked myself back up and went off to acupuncture smelling like clary sage this afternoon I'm catching up with my doula who is extremely supportive, so I think it will also help to chat to her.

MadB, I suspect you're right in that my MW was probably wanting to flag things as possibilities to bear in mind, although I completely agree with you, I need to talk with her about what her conditions are, if any, of continuing my care.

Thanks again I'll let you know when/if the little man makes an appearance before I have to cross this bridge. Xx
