Blimey, lots to catch up on!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUMPER!
Natty - I had DS1 at Kings, when it came to DS2 I booked in at Kings and at St Georges (my local hospital) for a HB as I was out of their catchment too. I moved when I was about 5 months PG. It was fine having 2 hospitals, there was no problem. Until I was in labour when I phoned Kings to tell them I was coming in and they told me to go to my local hospital, they were packed and if I went there I'd end up giving birth in the waiting room So do check out your nearest hospital and see what they can offer you. Also have another word with a different MW. You most certainly can request another MW.
Bloody marvellous about the sleep Daisy! You deserve a new bag for that - Daisy, Daisy Bag Lady - love it!
Jammy - I have had to accept that the things which are important to me aren't as important to DP, so if I want something done I just have to get on with it or accept he'll do it in his time (i.e. never). I sympathise with you, I really do and I do everything. Infact, I'd rather he didn't even bother as now I know it will get done and properly, when I want it done. Certainly for us it was a losing battle, but your DH and you do seem to have found a solution so .
Oh Ria, I hope things get better. Keep positive
Norty, don't go into labour!
