    Im here!! :hello:

    Childbirth - Just the thought scares the mick out of me!! Some people are like you, and say their child was worth all the pain, but others have one child, and say the pain was so much they're not having another!!
    And im also thinking the world is such a horrible place, don't know if i want to bring a child into it!:o

    Try not to be so cynical sally - honestly childbirth lasted 2 - 3 days ive got the pleasure of my LO forever - ive only got the one and i will protect her from everything "bad" that i can - No two experiences are the same - so you just have to "go for it " - if it is something that you want.!;) -
    Maybe not now but in the future............
    My LO was a lovely surprise for us but we were a lot older at the time - i was 27 ,OH was 31

    Hiya.
    Wondered where you went cos your green light went off!

    Nonamewoman - You're not thick!:cool: Snaplinks and split panel are 2 programs you install when you're on firefox! Snaplinks lets you open loads of tabs in the same window if that makes sense!
    You can open all the comps ending tomorow, save them, and some back to them later.
    Split panel divides the screen, so it is easier to copy the answers in some comps like the magazine ones!

    HTH!!

    ps. i sound like an expert, but i've only been using it for afew days, and got no problem with it, just makes life easier! Thanks go to Toni. xxx

    You make it sound like a simple walk in the park!!:eek:
    Are you one of the people who enjoys childbirth, and would either have loads of your own kids or become a surrogate?:confused:
    Heard of some women who have over 10 kids, ie. 1 each year cos they just like giving birth!:eek:

    2-3 days of constant pain!:eek:
    No, i love kids, don't know if im cut out for having my own though!:o

    if i had nieces/nephews i could see if i could cope with them 24/7, or became broody for motherhood, but got ages to wait for that too!!
    Im the oldest, my sisters are 14 and 16, and brothers 12!
    My friend is same age as me,(20) and has 2 daughters, a husband and inlaws to look after!
    I can't even look after myself, cook or anything, so don't think motherhood is for me anytime soon!!

    UNLESS Mr Right comes bounding through the door now...!:rolleyes: ;)

    Before I sleep, I know that kids are adorable and I admire mums so much (they are incredibly brave and loving) but Sally you are SOOOOOOOO YOUNG, enjoy your youth. I had my first serious BF at 19 then changed my mind like 10 times before I met my current OH. ...I met him when I was 26 I am 32 now and I still feel like there are a million things to do before I have a child (maybe I am overboard).

    sally re childbirth : DONT DO IT!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: LOL
    my pregnancy story:
    total weight gain = 5 stone !!!!
    complications: Simfisis pubis disfunction (spelling?) resulting in me being permanently in hospital and wheelchair bound from 29 weeks onwards.
    THEN at 38 weeks had 54 hours of labour only to be then told that the babys head was so big it would probably rip me in half so i had to have a c section ( if they'd said that 2 days earlier they'd have saved themselves a fortune on pethasin and gas and air! and saved me a whole lot of pain!!!!! ) EDIT..... oh yeah then the c section scar became majorly infected and we didnt leave hospital for a further 2 weeks!!!!!

    My DD is beautiful and i wouldnt change her for the world BUT i am never EVER EVER!!!!!! doing it all again!!!! lol
    I can only please one person a day.... Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either!!
    very greatful for almost everything i read on MSE (except for the nasties!)
