... is that if there is anything wrong with you during the night when you are pregnant you should always ring the delivery suite no matter how pregnant you are and they will send a midwife to see you. I didn't know this. So I rang the Doctor who said I couldn't go to the local hospital and would have to go to the hospital 50 mins away - all this at 4.30am. Ouch! So I hung on for a bit and at 6am decided we would have to go. SO we got the kids up and bundled in the car (it was Esther's birthday too so not the best start to her special day) then were told we could go to a hospital 30mins away. We were seen pretty quickly and they were good but didn't do things the simple way which meant I had to endure a weekend of uncomfortableness and come back early from our trip to my parents so I could see a District Nurse who then sorted me out and everything is back to normal. But today I went for my midwife appointment (heard the baby's heartbeat which was 142) and she told me if I had called delivery suite then a midwife would have come to see me and things would have been sorted on that one visit! It makes me so mad that the doctor didn't give me this advice and so the whole thing dragged out for 3 days!! Aaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Anyway, good thing is that everything is ok and just incase you were wondering, it wasn't actually anything to do with the baby!
Today we had another trip to the doctors in a hurry after Eliza got a mega lump on the back of her head from falling backwards after pushing her kitchen table chair backwards and landing on the floor. She is ok too luckily!
Hopefully we won't be needing any more medical visits till we have our baby scan in 4 weeks! I think I need another holiday.

Wow..sounds like you guys have had a scary couple of days. Glad everything is all right.
I can't believe the Dr didn't tell you either! I'm hoping he didn't know.. although how bad it that. Anyways.. glad all is well.
Oh dear! Glad you're all ok now, what a do! We've just been on the phone to the on call doc as molly found and opened a tin of wood paint! In the space of 10 secs it was all over including her hands which go straight into her mounth, these kiddiewinks! She's completely fine tho and we don't think she swallowed any, phew! Hope you have a good weekend xx
