Weddingcake - Congratulations! At this rate there aren't going to be many of us left by July
Beyonceen - I was told at 20 weeks that my placenta was low so this scan for 36 weeks was booked so they could see if it had moved. My midwife described it as drawing a dot on a balloon so as I got bigger the placenta should move up.
So the good news is yes they can move, the bad news is if you've only just been told about it I don't know how likely is is to move now.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Pookey - sorry to hear you aren't getting the birth you wanted though. Don't worry too much about the hospital though, just make sure you and others around you take precautions like washing your hands. As Caroline says MRSA is a very common bug which many people carry without doing any harm, it's only when very ill people, or those with open wounds get it that it becomes a danger (my infection control training is actually useful ) My hospital has a terrible reputation, inquest, inquiries, headline news, but it's only on certain wards, the maternity section is excellent but that rarely gets mentioned. I'm sure Kim & Aggie picked the bad wards to focus on too.
I can't remember who mentioned the raspberry leaf tea tablets, but thanks for the tip. I tried some apple and raspberry leaf tea drink last night. Drinking 3 cups a day will be a chore, I did manage to drink it eventually by adding honey and letting it cool down, but I think I'll ask if he's got any tablets instead.
