Hi. Didn't mean to offend in any way. I'm hoping to have another section due to crohn's and 3 lots of previous bowel surgery/burst appendix/prem baby last time. I wondered how you broach the subject with the midwife or hospital. Hope everything goes well with the next few weeks

No offence taken. I didn't have to broach it really. We talked about all the issues, it was suggested as an option, I thought about it for a while and it was agreed by all as the way to go. Just ask and see how you get on. If you've already had a section in the past whether you should have a repeat or a vbac should be on the agenda for discussion at some point anyway and no one will be surprised at you raising it.

Interview today! Well at least it has given me the chance to wear the (2nd hand but looks like new!) 'little black dress' from Next Maternity which I bought the 1st time I got PG but never got to wear! It's about the most formal thing I've got - plus it really does show the bump and so they won't be able to ignore the fact that I am PG! It's all such a waste of time as I know full well that I am going to be the one to go, but we have to 'go through the motions' - what a farce! Trying not to get too stressed about it - although I was in a foul mood last nite so I guess it is getting to me really.

At least I was cheered up by my Ebay purchases which arrived yesterday - the absolutely cutest little babygro's and teeny little socks, and the most darling little boots...and a really lovely fleecy top with Tigger on it..... Got 2 'bargain bundles' very cheap! DH thinks it is funny how I go into raptures over these teeny tiny things! Especially now he's had it confirmed by my mum that I was not a 'girly' girl and didn't enjoy playing with baby dolls and stuff like that! (I liked the more grown-up ones I could design & make clothes for and act out stories with!).

Hope everyone is well and happy today!

FE,Hope everything went OK with the interview - will they keep you in suspense or will they be making their decision soon ?

Glad you managed to cheer yourself up with some retail therapy.

As we don't want to find out the sex I'm trying not to buy too much stuff - I know that I'll want to go out and spend a ridiculous amount of money on blue or pink outfits as soon as I'm able to walk after the birth.

Hope everyone else is OK & the Bumps are expanding nicely.

Its all glamour. - Bet you thought this pregnancy malarkey was all about buying cute clothes and nursery colour scheams.lol.

I'm thinking of getting a support pillow as well - Back is starting to ache a bit now.


Enjoy the aqua natel - I've turned into a right lazy slob !!! I used to run quite a bit,but haven't got the energy now ( thats old age). But I'll hopefully up and running again when Beans here - it'll be a great way to loose the baby weight.
