It must be!

And if the woman swears at you for suggesting it then she can be allowed to make her way into hospital right!?

But BadDayAtTheOrifice, it's even suggested when you're at home, can't they say "what painkillers have you got at home?"? And, when I was asking for co-dydramol, I was already an inpatient so I had a prescription writtten up already.

And I still want to know who that midwife thought she was ringing the doctor to tell him to take me off co-dydramol! I think I'm going to make it part of my postnatal plan (I'm making one with the SoM and ward manager this time to hopefully avoid the horrific stay of last time) that only my own consultant can make changes to my medication because she knows how long I've been on it so won't take me off it. (not meant as a question to BadDayAtTheOrifice, just decided to slip into a rant)
