And the hospital at the time, who did it properly and who I have never given any credit.
They asked twice.
Not once. That is the thing I had wrong in my own account until a midwife called Hetty said something to me on the twelfth of October, 2025, about how they do it now.
And it set me off checking, and there is a line in the notes from 2019, and they asked me again about four hours later.
And I said no the second time as well.
And they left a card on the side with a number on it for afterwards, and a leaflet, and the envelope came the following morning.
And in the November of 2019 somebody from that unit rang me, because they do, at eight months.
And I said we were doing fine and thanked her and got off the telephone in about ninety seconds.
And in the March of 2020 a letter came about a thing they run — a group, four evenings — and I put it in the recycling without showing Saul.
