I too am so impressed with all these people working. It's enough walking the dog round the block these days! mrsb monkey and punk don't overdo it, it's just a job and work is not as important as your health, ever :) I did too much yesterday just battling through a shop and had DH with me! Also mrsnec with guests, really in awe. I cannot imagine doing that.
Now at laptop so can write properly. starry the mango and pineapple smoothies (sorry not passion fruit) from McDonalds are essentially fruit juice and ice just like in a slushie, so no yogurt which is great for me. It's soooo deliciously cold and not too sweet (I can't handle sweet). I just got myself two to keep me going till DH gets home. I agree with others on the need to get the midwifes to come to you. Could you get your GP to facilitate something? I mean it's not like they can't pick up the phone or email any results through to the hospital - or is joined up working in the NHS too much to hope for? Could your DH advocate for you if you can't face talking? Otherwise, take the walk very easy, plan nice things to do en route and lots of rest stops.
lottie hope you are feeling better today. Thinking of what you said about animals in sympathy, my dog puked up next to me last night. He's not been well either!
okla H&M is good, or ASOS for jeans. Mine are H&M. Online shopping has been my friend!
I found the huge pants in Primark but very disappointed in the nightwear. Found some nice nightgowns in a different store in XXL 
which open at the front and should be nice and baggy post birth. I too don't get the Primark fascination, particularly when you have such nice clothes ranges at Sainsburys, Tesco and Asda or ASOS types for the same kinds of prices. I really love all the baby stuff I got from Asda, great quality and good value.
Thanks so much for the labour stories. It makes me feel better to know the hg will be at an end, even if the discomfort makes me want to hurl. Could be worse things I guess. As to the action 'down there' DH is under very strict instructions to stay at my head area and not look!
meerka I see my consultant tomorrow so going to discuss it all with him again. I wonder what my options for C Section would be. Limited I imagine! I have a real psychotic paranoia thing about needles and my back + I take heart from all the good birth stories I've heard so I'm hopeful still of her arriving with limited intervention. But ask me this again in a month 
For once in my life I'm adopting a 'wait and see what happens' situation. No way am I going over 40 weeks though, my psychiatrist is going to intervene if the gynaecologists try and push it beyond that.
To cheer myself up this morning a bit I have ordered some really nice shampoo and conditioner and bought some posh body butter and face wash for hospital when I can actually smell stuff again. Hospital bag is finally coming together and huge pants can accommodate the huuuuuge maternity pads! I was shocked at how large they are! Now, if only someone could wave a wand and remove the nausea and give me a good night's sleep.......
