    oo this moves quick. thank you all for the warm welcome.


    Lolly - I had elastics too. we used to make them out of coloured elastic bands from john menzies. I had a ship and go, it counted the skips It cost me £15 of my birthday money. I was 10 in 1991 so its about right age i guess.

    Delaine - I sort of want closely monitored but don't at the same time. I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old already and hospitals for 3-4 hours getting bloods and HR tracings is a nightmare. I have a hatered/fear of hospitals so i actually think they make me anxious and then baby HR spikes.

    I have another issue, I have heamorraged twice during childbirth and I have exceedingly quick births too. I keep thinking OMG what am i letting myself in for

    Shelley i did with my last one its a nightmare being pregnant and working full time plus add a couple of kids into the mix and i was a bit of a zombie for a while back there. I went to the doctors in the end and she signed me of for a couple of weeks until i could recharge my batteries did me the world of good. If you get sick pay then i would say get yourself signed off for a short while and dont feel guilty about it you and baby and the little one come first not work or your intray :-)

    I thought about getting me a nice reliable older man delain after i left the hubby (as he was the biggest kid ever and never grew up) but they are all slobs or perverts round here or still married so i gave up on that one and got me a lovely house trained toyboy instead lol ;-)

    Good luck CAFC for tomorrow, hope things are speedy for you!!

    Tinks hope you are OK and your family is looking after you.

    I am aching too did water aerobics tonight and really struggling, didn't realise pregnancy makes you like this!

    Shelley I am struggling too at 26 weeks but I don't have a kid so can't imagine what you are going through.

    I left school in 1991 too.. my OH was 10..

    He was fairly horrified when my oldest at 18 introduced him to someone as his 'stepdad'.. at 27 ... I thought it was hilarious!!

    I keep saying.. 'do you remember....??' .. oh no.. you won't do..

    Definitely have more stamina these young 'uns lol
