tell me about it!! I think to though she used it 'cos she wanted to see if she could spot the discharge and have a really good look to see what exactly was going on as opposed to just seeing if I was dialating...hopefully it will be different in labour and that duck bill thing will comeno where near me!! (not that I can see a reason for it to!

Ummm... the only time one of those speculum things was used on me while I was in labour was when my midwife was going to break my waters (with Kiya)... other than that, all internals during labour were just by hand... and even though they were uncomfortable there was too much else going on for me to really take much notice of it - except during contractions!

Paws - when I had the bleeding the week before I had the lovely duckbill thing. I think the actual swabs were more uncomfortable than the duckbill thingie tho, they felt lik ethey were pricking my insides, and of course my fat babies were jumping around on top of it.

yuck I hate the swab feeling. I dont think my midwife used the duckbill when she broke my waters, Im sure I would remember that horrible feeling. I was expecting having my waters broken to be really horrible but I hardly noticed it.

*ugh* it all sounds unpleasant to me - any way this baby can just creep through my belly button without me noticing?!?!?

the other day my neice asked me how Addison came out, I thought no Im not going to answer that, her mum can. She came to the conclusion that she came out my tummy so I said yeah sounds good to me, then she couldnt figure out how they put my tummy back together again so I said they stitched it she asked if they used special glue so again I just went along with it and said yep. She must have been thinging about it for a while though cos later she asked how they got my tummy open. Oh to be so innocent!
