I need to go out and meet friends, but can't stop checking for updates!

Well done Nickel, great progress so far.

Feel like having a Dc3 now so I can have a live birth thread. Way too old although technically possible. Grin

nickelbabe · 11/12/2011 13:49

SOS: Any off duty MWs local to Nickel? We're struggling with cover and they're saying she may have to go to the birth centre. We're desperate for anyone to cover if poss....

6cm! That's brilliant! You'll be all done and dusted by tea time.

Oh and thank you for going into labour on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Smile

ZhenTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 11/12/2011 13:51

Grin No probably not HighHeidYin!

brighthair · 11/12/2011 13:52

What area are you? I can do you a doula down south and a MW up North Grin

ZhenTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 11/12/2011 13:52

Didn't Nickel mention friend at church is midwife? Must be someone on MN nearby!

gallicgirl · 11/12/2011 13:52

Cover is the hospital's problem, not yours! Just stay at home as long as it's safe to do so.

Good luck.

SpottyTeacakes · 11/12/2011 13:53

Nickel's in Kent I think

ZhenTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 11/12/2011 13:53

Think Nickel is near Sittingbourne in Kent, someone correct me if I am wrong.

BeeBread · 11/12/2011 13:53

Girl, 5.42pm, 8lb 1oz

Go Nickel!

HighHeidYin · 11/12/2011 13:53

Which area? Can post a thread!

squiggleywiggler · 11/12/2011 13:55

Nickel's friend: I've been in this situation before with doula clients and if we've just insisted they find someone as we are NOT GOING in. They have always found someone. The broken record trick works - don't engage in discussion just say: we need someone to be here, we aren't transferring again and again and again...

Nickel has my mobile number so call me if you want.

Wolfiefan · 11/12/2011 13:57

Go Nickel! Tell them if they don't find you a MW the WHOLE of mums net will come and get them! Oooo we will bring BBC news too!

Agree with squiggleyw- let them sort out the staffing issues and let nickel focus on the birth. They've got some time to find someone.
