Belfa, they covered a fair bit.. The benefits, positions, went into detail about what our options are re other pain relief while in pool, massage techniques, relaxation etc... Glad we made the effort. And walking around the delivery area had a waft of toast meaning a baby had just been born. Cute.
Your stretch marks look real sore, have you been given any sort of intensive cream you can use on them to ease the itch?
Hope you are ok babyscotcher, thing is you are in the best place. My niece who is now 4 was a pre eclampsia baby, they had a couple of issues at the start with her weight, I think the only thing was they wished they had pushed for her to stay in special care for longer as she wasn't gaining weight fast enough. So if you aren't happy with anything tell them.
I know what you ladies mean about loneliness, I know the first few weeks will be ok, I might have to make an effort looking into baby groups etc, I want to get LO swimming from around 3 months too. Some of my mummy friends have started saying we should meet up once LO here, you might be surprised, I guess things are different once we are mummies.
Colettypie that's a bummer if your baby has flipped, my friend was booked in for planned caesarean at 39 weeks.
Back home chilling now after a lovely catch up with my bestie, can't believe I'll be a mummy next time I see her. Wow and I'm fully cooked tomorrow.
but keep us updated tomorrow!!
baby has slowed down movement wise yesterday and today I'm getting an odd kick but nothing more. Even after lucozade I've still had nothing. They are not even answering at the hospital so gonna take a chance and just turn up there. Sure it's gonna be a long wait but I need peace of mind xx
bthr lady at our water birth workshop said spend half an hour every night minimum. 
baby had a mad 5 mins on the monitor so they were happy with that. I am having contractions though, lasting ones, they look like rolling hills on the graph and in more of a pattern. Not strong enough for me to panic tho
