morning all
starlight you are so right aboutthem being ever so willing to chuck you out of the hospital if you are not in enough pain for their liking
my waters broke at home so i went straight in as started getting contractions, they examined me refused to do an internal as then they would have to admit me - she had to check to see if my waters had brokn as i may have just wet myself ...... think i might know the difference!!
putme on the monitor ting and then sent me home saying nothing would happen for ages and to come back when my contractions were 5 mins apart - i said they are already and she just smiled and tutted and o course they are off you go now
went home and basically had to phone them straight back and say that i needed to go back could they send an ambulance "no you should not have left if you had no way of getting back" which i had said on a number of occasions that i had not had to get my dad out of bed to take us back
got to hosp no wheel chairs and needed to push and the receptionist said it would be a 15 min wait for a wheelchair had to walk all the way to the delivery suite stopping every two mins and trying not to push - finally walked the mile and rode the lift four floors up and then had to wait at the delivery suite door as no one would answer and it was locked
finally she answered and directed us to a cubicle and went to finish her cuppa i made dh goa and get her back she tutted and said lets have a look then and three seconds later i was pushing and baby was born
she actually had to fish my placenta back out of the bin as she had thrown it way as she had not read my notes as she hadn;t had time and had not realised that i was rh-
can't imagine why i would fancy a homebirth this time .....
anyway checked my bank thismorning to see if i had been paid and found that only halfmy wage was in - phoned payroll andthey made a big deal out of saying that my holiday request form had been sent off and i would lose all my hols as i am now on mat leave!!
finally after crying down the phone etc discovered that i had been paid my hol pay just didn;t realise how we get paid
so instead of getting a full wage likei thought half half a wage this month and the ma should cover the other half
have phoned ma and they say that i sent it in 4 weeks ago (due to work being so bloody slack) and that it would prob be another 7-8 weeks until it is sorted but not to worry as will get it back paid
that's all very well and good but i have nop money at all and my loan payment is due for the next three months and i some how don;t think that they will take too kindly to me back paying them so that's a bit of a shitter
hopefully we must be due some good news!!
