I have a feeling that doesn't necessarily mean good for me though.

Lol! Why do consultants always wear dickie bows? Hospital consultants, pub landlords and my dad must be the only people who still do that. Are you going to find out the gender at your scan?

Thanks. My consultant is a laydee. She's really nice, middle aged, Asian but with a broad Brummie/Yorkshire hybrid accent. Very matter of fact which I like. She was telling me about how the midwives from the different departments and hospitals all moan and bitch about each other. She pulled a lot of these faces >

BTW Queenie... I wouldn't worry about the competence of Registrars... they are often the better person to have looking after you, rather than the Consultant. Registrars are like the energised, up-to-date, still enthusiastic version of the Consultant xxx The registrar would be my first choice everytime xx

I saw a registrar first this morning. She came in, said hello, and told me I could have a sweep there and then if I wanted. I asked why I would need a sweep at 36/7 weeks. She went and THEN decided to look at my notes before saying anything else. Then she noticed I wasn't full term yet.
