Fright

Hayley got a very sharp stinging pain this evening, low down in her abdomen as she stood up from the table. For a few seconds she was unable to move. It wasn't the kind of pain you hear described as the start of labour so we were both a little frightened for a moment.

Hayley rang the midwife team and was told to lie down for a couple of hours, which is just what she's doing now. The pain hasn't recurred so we are hoping the midwife's diagnosis of a strain is correct.

Right now we're watching "Runaway Jury" which seems to be taking her mind off it. She's also managed to consume a bowl of bread-and-butter pudding with ice cream, which is always a good sign.
