Cassblob, gosh the hospital doesnt sound like they are doing much to help your friend.. I hope she is ok and they actually do stuff rather than passing her around. I agree with Cass, call an ambulance for her and get them to take her to a better hospital! They sound a bit incompetent. I mean she's dilated, in labour!!! Stupid hospital.

I wasnt told anything about having the rotavirus vax for Claire. It wasnt even mentioned to us and there is no info about it in the Blue Book. Scary how people get told such different information about it though.

oh tearing is horrid. I had three tears too (peri and both sides) and I couldnt sit down for ages. They wanted to do an episiotomy and I'm glad they didnt because i think I would have ended up with more pain. Then they gave me a panadol and told me to sleep. Panadol?? WTF??

I am more in love with Claire everyday. She is changing so much now. Almost everyday she seems to do something different! She has just started trying to suck on her toes, lol.
