Hope you find the right solution NK; you have my total sympathy. I've no idea how we're going to deal with the childcare issue - family all too far away, and no close friends nearby either, as we've only just moved to the area - but the one thing I'm sure about is that I won't have anyone staying in the house beforehand. Guests, however helpful they try to be, are just not what you need in the closing stages of pregnancy.
I saw the consultant today to talk about PPH. I lost a lot of blood last time so am at risk again. It wasn't clear what caused it last time, so nothing very specific we can do this time round, but the plan is for me to have a cannula in place in advance so it will be quick and easy if I need a synto drip/fluids/blood transfusion postpartum. Not much fun contemplating it, but better than going into it blind.
