Oh god, it really is getting close now, isn't it. I had my first antenatal class last night, which was interesting, though V uncomfortable to sit on the floor for two hours. Think I might see if I can gert into an antenatal swimming class for the last few weeks as well. The midwife last night was V useful about explaining the health system here. Now need I need to "shop around" for a paediatrician and a midwife who will visit me at home after I'm out of hospital. Having been in NHS all my life, it is v bewildering being part of a private system abroad. To make matters more complicated I am a "frontalier": live in one country but on the border to another, so will be giving birth in a different country to where I live. It's V confusing.
In other news just getting quotes for removal companies. We're looking at a date of moving about 10 days before im due, which is a massive risk/stress. We wanted earlier but the bank is taking bloody ages to sort out our mortgage!, so we're a few weeks behind. Aarrgghh. Would you take the risk of moving so late? We could probably look ast a date a week or so earlier, but we really need time to do some painting in the house before we get there furniture in. I have as feeling if we don't do it now, it will never get done with a baby around.
Hmmm, baby better stay put for a long time! I was told last night they went let you go more than 10 days overdue here, and if baby is big they will deliver at 38 weeks. Will be checking with my consultant next week to make sure baby is normal sized before I book movers. Little worrid as husband is tall and I am fat: baby is not going to be teeny.
