Hmm Ihave never been asked about donating cord blood either. Nor havehad a to sign a concent form for bubs to have injections...
Also the Strep B swap... a PP said its an external swab? IM not sure if you possibly mean external as in you do it yourself or not? But its not "external" as in the way its done. Its a big long cotton bud that you need to insert.

You may like to look at the syntocin injection they give to help deliver the placenta. Again often not needed but they don't tell you that, they just jab you while your distracted with your new baby.
You may also likke to find out what their policy (or expectations, sometimes its not poilice just preference IFYKWIM) about going post dates. Indcution really isn't the most pleasent way to experience your first birth so if you can avoid it, it would be good. So find out how far over tehy will let you go before pushing to induce.
