Gah, there is just no need for the nurse or doctor to be so rude. It's one thing to say "Sorry, you need to come back in two weeks for this appointment, there has been a misunderstanding..." but to be all snooty just isn't necessary. Congratulations and welcome to the forum.

I know, I haven't really thought about the logistics of getting to/from hospital. I would like a home birth but I am not sure my insurance would cover it and home births are frowned upon over there, so we'll see. It's not crap to take time off if you need it. Yesterday I sat down on the sofa...

Glad everything went well :)

Yay! I am glad you get to have the birth you want :D I really want a home birth, but I live in a country/culture where it's frowned quite heavily upon. In fact, where I am from the elective c-section rate is sky rocketing because it's 'easier for the doctor and mum to have a firm date and...

Congratulations! Glad everything went well. Lovely photo!

It's natural to be nervous. I hope it all goes well.

That is a nuisance that there wasn't a doctor there to see you. I'd be drinking as much water as I possibly could in the mean time but I'd definitely try and get a doctors appointment. I don't live in the UK but where I am from an anti-biotic is always given to pregnant women with water...

I don't know, but all the hospitals I am looking at will be a similar distance from home. We don't have a car over there either because public transport is so brilliant you just don't need one, apart from perhaps when you are in labour and need to get to the hospital in a hurry. lol

Hi Joanne, congratulations!

Singapore is a lot of fun. I have been back in England visiting for the last month and the weather is so depressing, I cannot wait to get home to some blue sky and sunshine. We're like you now, we could never live somewhere without good weather. We have private insurance but sometimes the...

How long have you lived in Mallorca? We're English, we moved to Singapore last summer because of my husband's job. We love it over there and I am not sure we'll ever move back to Europe to live. The healthcare is very good, but everything works differently to in England. I hadn't needed to see...

7 weeks 3 days.

Congratulations to the new people joining us here :) I am so tired. I sleep on my tummy normally, but my breasts are so sore there is no way I can lay on my front at the moment. I am trying to sleep on my side or back but I never seem to sleep so deeply and keep waking up all night. My...

Those due date calculators are wrong for me, I'm not the 'average' woman who has a clockwork 28 day cycle and always ovulates on day 14. We were using NFP before we started trying to conceive and I know that I ovulate later than the 'average' woman and that my cycle is 32 days long. My due date...

Alice is such a beautiful name. I think Alice Maria sounds lovely.
