Any doctors out there? My poor DP's mother has been in hosp for a week with severe abdo pains, nausea & vomiting. I think they gave her a barium meal. At first they were saying kidney stones but no bloody consultant would go and see her, there appeared to be no SHOs & the nurses wouldn't clarify. To make matters worse she is in Northern Ireland & we are in Devon, nearly 2 weeks overdue on DP's 1st child & MIL's (mother in law, right?)1st grandchild. We have just heard that she is now having emergency surgery for a perforated bowel & my search of the net has left me more confused. Any info on the why's wherefore's & possibilities would help me & DP deal with a stressful time & maybe I could relax enough to go into labour! By the way, MIL is youngish (I think about 54), slim & has always appeared to be in good health.
