Scream, that's brilliant! Yay for Consultant C! So pleased she's taking you seriously and really giving you the best care. I was going to add that my experience of the chain of command in hospitals is that MWs are a law unto themselves; consultants are a law unto themselves; and never the twain shall meet. For example, at my complaint meeting in January we wound up seeing the Senior Midwife and the Senior Obstetric Consultant, because the MWs have one chain of command and the consultants have another. So even though the Senior Consultant was called Head of XX Maternity Unit, she was only in charge of the obstetricians. 
This was very hard to get our heads around in the early days, not helped by the Senior MW being off on holiday for 3 weeks and no one else being willing to take any responsibility in her absence. So the head MW may not be able to help you - it may have to be a chief consultant of some sort.
So, I had my blood tests, second injection and signed my consent form this morning! On the DVT/Fragmin jabs - I'll get them when I'm in the hospital only, I won't have to self-administer like Pomme. I think that's got to do with risk factors - I haven't got any DVT risk factors, and they won't discharge me until they're satisfied I'm going to be okay. Really glad I don't have to try injecting myself! I'm usually not too squeamish but that might be a step too far for me.
Then we headed to the big shopping centre near the hospital and I nearly passed out outside Mothercare. I've never been so close to fainting in my life - couldn't really see, head swimming, barely able to sit on a bench without falling off. DH ran into Boots to buy me some water and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to keep myself upright until he came back. He said I was greeny-white and it took quite a long time before I felt capable of getting up and walking to the car. However, Bean was hopping around quite happily during all of this, and I felt much better once we got outside into the fresh air, so I decided not to go back to the hospital. Have had 2 cups of tea and a Mars Bar since and feel a lot better. I don't know whether it was the injection or just being a bit hot and bothered while shopping. We'd started off by having paninis in Costa, so I had eaten, but then wandered around the shopping centre being frustrated - tried to buy a new phone and they wanted proof of address, which I didn't have on me; went to M&S for maternity nighties and was told they didn't do maternity; went to Next and was told the same thing; went to Mothercare and eventually got nighties there. All in all we probably walked around for a good hour, even though it didn't feel like that much at the time, and I was hot.
Fishcake and Dream, I hope you solve the lifting dilemma. Dream, hope this woman turns out to be a goodie! Surely it would be too early for controlled crying for a good while yet, and also, surely she has to do what you say?
Oh no, Purple, that does sound traumatic! FX DH gets better really soon, in time for your weekend sneeze birth.
Fishcake, I am definitely first on the list tomorrow, emergencies aside, and shall be following your good advice regarding toast before midnight. I've been given Ranitidine to take before bed, too, which I hope helps me to sleep by removing the heartburn from the equation. I've still to pack my bags - one for me and one for Bean, and shave my bikini line and my legs, which haven't been shaved in about 3 weeks 
. I've been told no jewellery, make up or nail varnish - does that mean my wedding and engagement rings have to come off? It still really doesn't feel real!
