Only just catching up. Turquoise - hope you feel better soon. Hope the new hospital is treating you well. Take care and let us know how you get on.
Tori - please don't be too hard long yourself. 90mins of shopping would take it out of me, and I don't even really have much pelvic pain. Glad you managed to treat yourself a little too. I do understand the frustration though.
We went to our midwife class yesterday. Went very well, particularly for DH. good for him to get an understanding of the basics of labour. I am planning to try and have a natural birth though, so hoping that is the right choice. Our midwives are very encouraging in this - in fact they also really advocate home birth as well. Is that the same in other areas?
I did check about sleep positions, and there were a lot of anxious mums to be in the room. Her advice was while left side is best if poss, to listen to your own body and baby and do whatever feels right and most comfortable for you.
Baby Just had a great time. We were sat at the front of the class and I was wearing a thin top and it was going mad throughout moving and kicking in all directions. A few times the midwife broke off from what she was talking about to point out the movements and check I was ok. Everyone else in the class - right from across the room - said they had been watching too. i think we have a performer on our hands!!
