And she was fab! She was here for an hour and a half and said everything is looking absolutely fine and that I should be able to plan for a normal birth. She measured me, took my blood pressure, checked my urine and basically did everything that my midwives haven't been doing so far. She also told me that I'm probably better not having an epidural, contrary to previous advice, because it won't actually help me with the fatigue and is more likely to prolongue the labour and result in an instrumental delivery. She said so far there are no reasons that I can't use the birthing pool or balls or anything else that I want. She's based at the hospital where I am due to give birth and is going to take charge of my birth plan etc and she said as long as she is available she will personally assist in the delivery too. I feel miles better about everything now. I'm so glad you lot convinced me to complain. 
Just goes to show if you hadn't, nothing would have changed probably.
Although, she was a bit rough with the doppler. 
Baby is still not happy about that. 
I'd better start a guessing the sex/weight/date thread in a couple of weeks.
