Having a baby over here is very different. You don't see an obstetrician during pregnancy unless you have a problem... you just front up at the hospital and a midwife you've never met will deliver the baby. The hospitals are dirty, with big trickly stains running down the walls, stairwells like prisons and nasty lino everywhere, from the middle of last century. It's tough, British, stiff upper lip, don't you know there's a war on type of stuff. You even have to take your own food into hospital. The solution? Try a home birth. At least you'll get enough to eat.
My God, is that descripton for real! You are one brave gal. It sounds like the dark ages. Thank god you're married to a Doctor. Bring your own food? And people complain about the health system here.
ReplyDeleteMr Hubbard gave me the news about the baby's sex. Congrats. You must both be thrilled.
