Girls, thanks:) I really hope things will go OK, trying to be positive but it's very hard! My pain threshold down there seems to be very low cos I do have very painful periods with fainting and other attractions as well. I just hope the midwives will be as helpful as those ones in MAU unit and I'll mange to avoid all the bad ones... Heidi, I would definitely complain and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get at least apologies, unfortunately they will not be able to change your experience. I just hope that keeping that little bundle of joy in your arms makes the whole thing worth it! I was waiting for your birth experience actually, hoping it would be positive. I will not let my partner read your post with the birth description, think he would not let me go to hospital tomorrow at all! Going to make a birth plan after all (was told it won't be necessary with induction) and there is only hope pain will not stop me from being able to communicate in English with midwives and my partner;)
