Yes AQ, it does still sound very strange! DD was a normal birth in the end despite waters breaking 72hours before any contractions, and a lot of debate about induction. (Waters broke at 5am on Christmas Day! Lulumama got very excited about a potential Xmas Day baby, but then nothing else happened and I was allowed home for turkey dinner, but had to go back to stay over from then until she was born) It was all very managed though cos of the PROM thing, and couldn't use the pool, plus had to have ABs on a drip and ended up having that synthetic oxytocin on a drip too as they were worried I was going to manage to go 90 hours with ruptured membranes which apparently was unprecedented in the unit and would be much frowned upon so they wanted to speed things up . 8hrs in, I had an epidural and DD arrived 4hrs later, think she would have arrived quicker had I been able to hold out, but by then hadn't slept for (surprise surprise) 90hrs, and had given up!
Well that was a lot of info!
Jabber and Castles, sorry to hear things still aren't great. And I hope you both find the right solution.
EV - how did that anxiety course go? Are things better now?
Indith, DD went through a phase of screaming in the night which GP put down to night terrors - might be worth talking to your doctor to rule out ears though - I really suffered with mine as a child and I was not a good sleeper so seems the two things go hand in hand. It is so hard being up all night when pg - it absolutely kills me, and puts me in a right grump for the next day. DH wouldn't dare come near me half the time anyhow!
