Yesterday was a little more exciting than I'd planned. I did not, in fact, make it to London for work. Instead, I learnt the following.
[I'm fine - well, sort of. But if I'm a bit tired and flaky the next few weeks - even more than I have been lately - I apologise in advance. Baby is fine (definitely).]
- If you are a pregnant woman and you fall over in a train station, even during rush hour, people tend to get a bit worried.
- Trying to convince people you don't need an ambulance because you're fine (by being unable to walk due to pain) doesn't seem to work.
- Hearing ambulance sirens outside a train station and clocking that they were for me now ranks in the top three Most Embarrassing Moments of my life.
- Riding in an ambulance is an experience whose repetition I'd like to minimise in my future life.
- The NHS carries on being amazing. Special plaudits to Birmingham City Hospital Maternity Triage for a thorough checkup and scanning the baby.

On 3: ever going to discuss the other two? :-P
wishing you comfort and rest

Thank you. I'm getting both. I spent yesterday evening after the baby went to bed with my feet up watching the Great British Bake Off and then Raider of the Lost Ark.

Glad baby is fine and that you are at least sort of fine. Hope you can upgrade that to unequivocally fine soon.

Is Brum your home base? Brum is my UK base (by reason of boyfriend)!
From:
no subject
Yes, Brum is (sort of) my home base. We live in a small village to the southwest of the city. The bloke is a lecturer at the U of B. That's why we're here rather than in London, where I work. In London we could afford a shoebox as opposed to the rather nice cottage we live in up here.

In order to ascertain how close our overlap might be: is your bloke a historian of any sort? If so, he probably knows my boyfriend. If not, probably not!
From:
no subject
No, the bloke is a physical chemist, now housed in the Dept of Geography, Earth and Environmental Science. :)

Am trying not to stress too much about work right now. :/
From:

I know how it is (about work, at least, not about the midwife). I hope you're getting some relaxation anyway. It will all still be there when you get back (as I have recently learnt). Of course that may or may not be a comfort.

Glad both you and the baby are fine. I hope that gets more fine.
From:

Thank you. Today is definitely better than yesterday.

I casually scroll down just to see if I might be missing anything fascinating before I go to grab a cuppa and Do Something Not On The Internet... and you go and collapse in a heap on me! With Ambulances!
Was this in Birmingham New-Vision-Of-Hell Street station, perchance? =:o\
How are you doing now?

I'm OK, but have been warned off overdoing things as I have an abdominal injury that can't be corrected while I'm pregnant. :/
