Apologies to anyone who has ever been a resident of Dakin ward

After all my fretting about having a baby in Switzerland, I'm glad to say all my fears were totally baseless. The midwives were fantastic during the actual birth business, but it was the after care that ultimately took Gold. I give you

- minimum 4 DAY STAY, even for a totally normal delivery: hurrah!
- baby gets brought to you at night only if they cry (and so you can get some rest) : yippee!
- three course meals of restaurant-quality: resssssult!
- view of Mont Blanc from my hospital bed: come on!
- FREE nappies, knickers, breast pads, piles of fluffy white towels and dressing gowns everywhere: ker-ching!
-being waited on hand and foot by attentive staff: yesss!
- floors so spotless I could have licked them: splendid!
- baby dressed in (very sweet) hospital clothes during entire stay: grrrrreat!

In fact if I do this again, I might have to make sure I am still here.
