    Thanks for all your replies about the chances of any potential no.2 being premature. I had problems with the bloodflow to the placenta, and they have absolutely no idea as to why (could be age, could be congenital, could have been sheer bad luck) so cannot tell whether the problem and prematurity could recur. Just a chance we'd have to take, but we'd have more frequent doppler scans from very early on, so as to know - not that we'd be able to do anything to help the situation if it did recur (other than decide not to continue)!

    BM - I'll be seeking a referal for gastric surgery when I stop breastfeeding and I already worry about them saying no. I hope the wait isn't too long and the process is gentle. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Sorry I forgot to comment on it earlier. Keep us posted.

    Calpol/Jabs - interesting thing here:

    SS - what job do you do?

    I think teh actual waiting list for any op is 18wks (maybe 16?) but in reality its a lot longer as you havae to jump through a lot of hoops just to get on the list in the first place!!
    My Mum was on about a gastric band and IIRC its not easy to get referred and they see it as a last option once you have seen dietician, exercise even medication ect

  • Evening all. Hugs to those who need it.

    DH is still in the pub (his resolution to spend less there isn't quite working just yet!)

    Izzy is asleep, and I'm remembering the benefit of not having to feed a baby till at least 7am or so - big glass of baileys :)

    I'm a researcher in a psych unit Feelie, but in a previous life I was head of ultrasound administration at a private hospital.

    Dunno,you tend to find they suddenly come up with a whole host of things to try second time round after they suggest they can't do anything. In the hope you won't go and have another the cynic in me thinks. :rolleyes:
