Aww thanks for asking honey, I don't know where this weeks gone, i've been meaning to do an update for days. I wasn't impressed to be honest. She arrived over an hour late, which in itself caused problems, we have a japanese akita and he's a big dog now and very protective of me when OH's at work. I put him in the garden at 12, she was due at 1 and by 2 had still not arrived. Dog was getting very frustrated and jumping up at the back door wanting to come in and crying (daft dog, but made me feel very guilty).
When she did eventually arrive she brought the red book, which was nice to see and have explained to me but everything else pissed me off to be honest not that i said anything. She lectured me about contraception, shaken baby syndrome, cot death (accompanied by about four different leaflets), dismissed my own views and concerns about breast feeding and pretty much told me I needed to do it until at least her next visit after LO arrives and not to give up because so many people make that mistake. Surely I have to do what feels best for me and my baby and stuff any one elses opinion. I dunno maybe i'm being negative but it left me feeling fed up, she also went through loads of self explanatory leaflets which i could have easily read, very very slowly as if i was stupid.
I was also hoping she may be able to advise me about SPD, before and after the birth, just some tips or something, she'd never even heard of it, just looked at me blankly!
