    Caz the kids at nursery decided Chris was talking in a foreign language last year. They were doing a topic on countries and talking about all the different countries. One pipes up 'Christopher is from a different country because he talks in a different language!' Was very sweet :D

    I may take him home, he'd fit in with my two :D

    MDW, no. I was induced so never experienced proper labour.

    Probably not MDW, I think it's a normal thing you'd want to experience, going through all the motions before having your baby.

    Did you have a planned C section?

    I can honestly say if I DO have another baby, I am demanding an elective C section. I never want to go through an experience like that AGAIN. Traumatised!! This is why I smoke (not really but sssssh!)

    I'm exactly the same way MDW. I actually looked into counselling and emailed someone from the birth trauma website, but they didn't reply and I felt worse for a bit (even more so after the local counsellor I emailed also didn't reply).

    I'm telling my Very Best Friend that I love her so much I saved my labour for her so she can have all my pains and have all that extra bonding with her baby.

    ooh DD1's miscarried twin was MOST interesting.. it stopped growing at about 8 weeks and didn't come away and DD1's placenta kind of swallowed it.. so once that was delivered we all got to poke the dead twin.. totally cool! (yes I am REALLY this weird!)

    DS2's twin was far less interesting and blobbed out at 8 weeks leaving a gallon of blood so DS2 couldn't be seen until almost 11 weeks.. but there he was! .. he then had 2 cardiac arrests at birth (1 as delivered one about an hour later) and has learning difficulties and an undersized pituitary gland, learning difficulties and growth hormone deficiency as a result!

    I think retained placenta and PPH are about the only things I've not done... might go for those this time :p
