Aggghhh DS is doing my head in!
All he keeps saying all day liong is ''i'm hungry'' Surely he cant be, he eats more than I do!
He's skinny as a rake aswell so no idea where he puts it, he's not eating crap either, it's all fruit, pasta, sandwiches, proper cooked dinners, cereal etc I cant afford to keep feeding him!

I think that's boredom, Aimee's the same when she's not at school, she'll eat the entire contents of the fruit bowl between breakfast and lunch! She definitely eats more when she's not at school....

My brother really suffered with his tonsils too and ended up having his out when he was 7... I didn't start suffering with mine until I was 15... Never caught it off anyone or gave it anyone... wierd...

Tine, you know tonsilitis isn't contagious? No need to quarantine the poor man lol... I suffered for years, got my tonsils whipped out september 2007, it's so liberating!

I know lol but he has a fever with it and a cough and was throwing up too - and I don't like the sound of people being sick it sets me off and I think I've done my share of being sick recently!

More to the point I need what little sleep this baby will let me have as it is :rotfl:

He's been refered to the ear, nose and throat chappie to discuss whipping them out... I think it'll be a 50/50 decision...

I hadn't really thought about it yet but a friend seemed very keen to know earlier and was asking me.. does anyone know of anyone who's actually had a c-section because of being too slim (hip-wise I assume) to give birth naturally?

Can't say I'm that keen - it's the cutting of my skin and not driving for weeks afterward that get me! I'm all for giving it a bash naturally, but then again I don't fancy any of this "getting stuck halfway out" business either! :eek:

Elle - I had a friend who's first got stuck halfway out and had to have an emergency CS. They apperently had trouble getting him out that way too as he was wedged in :eek:

let's just say you wouldn't class her as slim... It was just that her pelvis wouldn't open any further.

Sorry not sure if that's scared you or helped but I'm just trying to say it can happen to anyone and I suppose you only find out when the time comes. Although it's worth noting this was a few years ago so you would hope that they would be able to detect something like this now.

Interesting that some say it's contagious I've never caught it off him and the one time I've had it he'd not had it ages and he didn't catch it after me either
Ah well... he's cocooned in a large duvet with a pot noodle (yuck) feelign sorry for himself but hogging the Sky remote... oh well

I can understand kicking him out if he's throwing up... I'd of done the same in that instance (actually hubby's been brilliant with me puking, I have to kick him out the bathroom cos he's that keen on supporting me... I keep telling him I wouldn't extend the same courtessy!)

Speaking as someone who had them removed at 27... It was absolute agony for about 18 days... Painkillers didn't hit it at all and anything spicy, chocolate or cold made it hurt more... Ended up on tramadol from the Dr which completely knocked me out all day... I did start to weigh up if it was worth having it done... And I would think more than twice about having it done again!!

A bit premature, but what are you all planning on doing about contraception or having more babies?

I can't seem to make up my mind. This was so much of a 'fluke' baby, that I don't know if I could use contraception and risk missing out on having any more! On the other hand, this pregnancy has been quite tough physically so far, and I can't imagine being pregnant and having a baby to look after.

Any ideas?

I'm thinking about that too FG, I'd rather not go on the pill, it messes me around as much as pregnancy does... And I won't be having the depo jab again... Which leaves implant or coil... I'm considering the non-hormonal coil... But that can make your periods a lot heavier... I just know I'd rather not have anything hormonal...

And hubby said if we get to 35 and we've decided we won't have any more babies then he will get the snip!

I'd like to get Pg fairly soon after but I don;t think OH will so we will use condoms - I refuse to pump my body full of chemicals any more so I won;t take anything.
Also, that way if you do want to try again it doesn;t take much to do it.

Can't think of any contraception I like either. I'm too fat for one pill, too forgetful for the other. Depo suited me, but took a long time for periods to return to normal afterwards. Can't have implant because of my skin thing. Coil just doesn't sound nice!

I suppose it'll just be not try but not prevent, and hope that it'll happen at the right time!

I don't think I'd ever be able to let OH have the snip. How do you ever decide that you don't want more babies? Thats just such a huge thing, to never have more babies.

I could cope with only two children, but to only have two babies?!

(Oh, and any random FB requests are from me!)
