* * .. July 2013 Mummy's .. * *

I just dread the idea of being induced personally! Being hooked up to the CTG or summit all sorts of tubes knocking about! God no and all that fiddling! I already asked if you can decline for that! But can you not stay on MW led until 42 weeks? I wish I could do the pool and at home but that's really not going to work out! Our living room is so daft it be a health and safety hazard to be putting a pool up in here! Garden's big enough but wouldn't want to have the whole neighbourhood watching haha! But pool birth sounds lush espesh if you have no problemo's with the hospital they should always be able to move you in case of emergency when you're already in there have you figured out if the what the water temp feels like, if you think it'll be comfortable?
 
The temps are monitored and never to hot or to cold in the hospitals. Spose to remain at a comfortable temp for you and the baby aswell. Theres fans in the birthing rooms incase ur hot and a shower head aswell if u wanted the water to run onto ur back which MWs have said can help ease some aches lol.
Im so excited to be in MLC unit up my hosp. It looks such a lovely place!!

http://www.cardiffandvaleuhb.wales.nhs.uk/midwifery-led-birth-unit This is it.. Cant see the whole room in these piks but the one on the right is the double bed where u and ur OH stay overnight after baby is born :)
Looks so nice and spacious. And i love the idea of having ur own room and not having to share a ward with a curtain as privacy! xx
 
Looks Lush!!! You don't have those privileges up in Manchester as far as I'm aware the birth center only has whats it called early discharge but there's no chance for OH to stay as far as I've been made aware and on the led's in the hospital it's no-go due to their 'we can not discriminate against pedo's policy' and 'mothers are breastfeeding on the ward' policy.. Don't ask they seriously told me when I asked why OH can not stay overnight -.-'' p*** me right off that's why I want to avoid the hospital all together! I might just squeeze into my own bathtub at home, bought one of these thermometers for the baby can use that to indicate the right temp for me haha don't think I can push him out in our bath tho it's a tiny bit squeezed in but you never know, people who didn't know who were pregnant are popping them out in the toilet like a big poo anything's possible haha
 
I'm having the worst day I now have tmi diarrhea !! Bath and bed I think
 
I was sweating like a pig in the birthpool. When I went into labour with first I tried the birth pool and the temperature is body temperature ;if it is much colder and baby comes out it is too mch of a shock for the baby. I think 37C is super hot for a bath especially when you give birth on a hot day (with me there was a yropical weather week that week) so I almost fainted yuck.
 
Went to my Nhs antenatal today very nice but no where near as informative as nct have been so far so glad now that hubby made us sign up that said it was really useful to hear our own hospitals tips and policys too so I am glad I went along. having a really uncomfy day n feel very Achey with bh too. Have gone for a lie down In bed. Had gp antenatal appoint before class to all is well though measuring big hope growth scan in two weeks doesn't show a monster sized babe tho lol I recon will be 8 lbs in my mind and come a week early but not sure where iv got my numbers from just what my head says. X
