It's hard writing a birth plan when you have so little idea of what odd things medics might want to do. My midwives don't do any discussion of birth until the 36-week appt, which seems a bit late (they have noted I'd like the midwife-led unit, when I insisted on asking about it).
I guess mine boils down to "don't touch me or do anything without my explicit consent" - unless a genuine emergency in which case they'd better explain as much as possible to Mr NC, and "gimme my baby the minute it comes out and I'm hanging on to it." Don't trust a hospital not to lose him!
And they'd better let Mr NC or one of his two backup people stay with me at all times, or else. This is my priority and all 3 of them are prepared to politely but firmly refuse to leave me alone, along with citing the DDA as necessary and the costs of a speech-to-text reporter (I suspect the latter will make the hospital very happy to oblige me! )
Physio discharged me today on the grounds that there was nowt else she could do unless I get much worse or much better. Did give me a support belt though, which does make walking less painful although still can't do it for long. I'm supposed to wear it for walking but then not for sitting (it digs in then), which led to my trying to unpeel 3 foot-long bits of velcro under my clothes while on the bus...
Yesterday tried a self-push wheelchair but I don't have the strength for real pavements, so we swapped it for a getting-pushed-only one. Which meant I was then at the mercy of Mr NC to get me home. He only tipped me out once...just can't get the staff nowadays...
