Just catching up so sorry if I miss anything! Congratulations Natalie and LJD! I love the name Toby ^_^
I'm sorry to hear the births were horrid
I'm extremely frightened of having my own horrid experience. I guess that's because I built up a sort of resolve, and each day that passes with no baby, I'm starting to loose my nerve! But you guys have all got through yours which gives me hope!
Kumber, what a mare of a woman you had to put up with. Asides all the rudeness, she will have had training on how to help ladies up without back injury. I would complain. If not for your own vindication, but so that other ladies don't suffer the hag either. Good luck with your appointment earlier.
It has been horribly hot on the continent. And if not searing heat it's been muggy and energy draining. My advice is to keep hydrated. Sounds lame but it has helped me. I also fill up a bottle of squash and keep it in the freezer. That way I can take it out and in a couple minutes pour out nice ice cold drink. My partner is half Caribbean so I'm hoping baby doesn't get my pasty Englishness!
I'm not sure back home but the evenings are also uncomfortable here. If you can, invest in a fan that you can prop up nearby.
Bexy I know how that feels. We have a converted attic which, despite being very spacious and having three windows, does not adjust to the temperature. At all. We're having to relocate to the spare room for when baby arrives :s
Good luck today Colleen!! Hope all goes well for you
