Is all a girl needs to make her feel better. Today has been a really hard day for me. I have had such an upbeat and positive week or so but today has been so difficult.
I was already in a grumpy mood after being woken up at 9am but a stupid colleague calling my work mobile. He didn't leave a voicemail, so I was even more annoyed not knowing what he wanted. I texted to say I was on maternity leave and didn't appreciate him calling early in the morning and waking me up! I didn't even get an apology! So the day didn't start too well.
Then I had my 39 week midwife appointment which made me feel even worse. She told me she was going on holiday for 2 week from Monday, which would be fine normally, but I'm due on Sunday and have always had all my appointments with her. So next week I have to see a Doctor for my Ante-Natal appointment and not a proper midwife. Thanks for that. Then, to upset me even further, she told me that I will not be able to have a sweep (to hurry labour along) until I'm 9 days over due. Then I'll be put in the diary for induction "when they have a free space" so potentially I could go a full 2 weeks over due and have a possible 9-9.5lb baby, which for my first could mean assisted delivery or even a C Section.
After all that rubbish, I came home and cried my eyes out and haven't really stopped crying since. Thankfully James cooked dinner and I've got my lavender warm wheaty bag on my achy tummy and a hot chocolate to make me feel better.
