no need for travel kettles at RAH!, tea/coffee on tap! although not pepermint tea! i had dreadful trapped wind (cause of GA) and asked the midwives if on the off chance they had pepermint tea!! i think i made their day, they pissed themselves laughing!! then so did i thinking the NHS would have such a thing!!! :-)

my fate will be decided 7 october. the swelling isn't good, though.

i think the scans really have got my due date wrong, and if this one comes like his sisters, then he might be considered a 37-weeker, in which case i'd be medivac'd to RAH, anyway.

lavender oil in water and witch hazel, both in spray bottles, are other saviours.
