Hello all, and welcome to the home of 'dear God, what am I DOING?!' to Mrsgav. Am back from mini-break into terrifying amounts of work, feels like I've never been away... Going to Moscow sounds wild lala, it'll be worth it!
AWCH- you'd think that they'd give you more structured appointments and be helping you with a home birth if you need help and support with mental health issues on top of pregnancy, not the other way round. I've found this is a problem across the health service, trying to get two different areas (whether it be for MH and pregnancy or arthritis and stroke) to work together is nigh on impossible.
Am joining you all with the willingness to sell a kidney to get a private room. I'm an only child, of a single parent, who even at Uni never lived with more than one person (didn't do halls)- I can't cope with being on a big ward, especially not sleep deprived!
And sounds like you're measuring up in weird and wonderful ways londongirly, let us know if it's all OK? Am now with you on the fact that I can see the little man's kicks...which is soooooooooooo freaky!
mopsy- how did the conference go, did you get a big round of applause for your paper/presentation?
I have a feeling that now we're all heading into the third trimester and being kicked half to death by our respective offspring (and where did that time go?) it's all going to get a bit more real....
Sorry for the long post, just good to catch up!
