.. Really don't wanna go over into xmas and new yr if I can help it haha xx

Is it in your cervix? I've been getting that and mum just said it's pressure from baby engaging and your cervix starting to slowly efface as a result. It's apparently very common.

That said, the way she talks about some of them... they sound strict and bossy! Haha, I'll prob get one of them, courtesy of mum, for her own amusement!

Yeah my mums told them all about me too! Only thing i find abit funny is one of my mums work friends that she chats away to everyday is going to be..well delivering my baby!

Yup my cervix, yeah my mw said the same

must be so cool to have a mw for a mum.. I mean, at least you get total honesty and she probably wouldn't only give you half the info if you turned to her for advice like ya average mw does! lol xx

Yeah, it can be great and I feel well informed on a lot of things. But, at the same time, she sometimes is a bad mix... like your MW wouldn't follow you around Tesco tutting about having too many smoothies or lecture you for getting a "breast to bottle and back" bottle for when you intend to express in a few months because she thinks it means you'll just do it when you're tired and can't be bothered BFing... ahaha.

She's also very pro natural birth, like all MWs really, and tried to scare me away from c sections before I even fell pg. So, if I need one I'll be nervous as hell!

ashley_gee89 · Nov 19th, 2009, 18:39 PM

Awh bless ya hun.. Still I think the pro's outweigh the con's

and she'll be brilliant when bubs is here too

FemmeEnceinte · Nov 19th, 2009, 18:40 PM

Yeah, she'll be a good support. But I'm stubborn and will want to do it all myself

, hopefully I'll learn to be able to ask for help if I need it.

ashley_gee89 · Nov 19th, 2009, 18:41 PM

hehe yeah there's no harm in asking, we all need help from time to time
