i would fancy working in a blood lab. I like blood, its interesting.

Chakani - in labour I just had G&A and disappeared into my own little world while puffing away. I refused to speak much other than saying I need to push and nodding if someone asked if i was ok. I told the MW with dd2 to not speak to me if she was going to be patronising. I just went into a a nice calm state. I LOVE G&A its fab once you get past the nausea bit.

Do you all like my siggy?? I have changed it in response to some fool who asked me if i had a job to match my pregnancy on the DT boards cheeky git.

I like your signature LilacPixie - especially today as some old man in the supermarket just gave me such a look because I was holding two toddlers, one by each hand and had a big baby bump - you could just tell he was thinking I was having kids for the money or benefits or something! Errrr! No! I have worked since I was 17 thanks very much and have been back to work after each of my pregnancies - this time being the exception that I will finally be able to be a SAHM! makes me mad when you get such judgemental looks off of people!

I'm liking your signature too Lilac!

Blood labs are ok, I did some of that at uni (most of these labs are pretty much fully automated and you don't get much hands on work), I would really like to work in pathology though, I find that really fascinating. When I did my first degree I did a Human Anatomy module as an extra (the degree was zoology!) and I loved it, disection 3 times a week WOuld love to do that for a living!

I'm boring, I'm an accountant. I specialise in taxes. My 3 year old wants to be a vet and has told me this daily for 6 months. She is 4 soon so i think the birthday fairy may be bringing her poorly puppy.

Snap Tink and Rach!! I had a MW appointment this afternoon and am measuring almost 41cm at 36+4 - so have to go for a scan next week to see how much is baby and how much is liquid!! My MW said Big babies and severe SPD do not mix so may have to consider being induced early or at least not go over!! bit scared now:eek:

my ds1 keeps telling me this past week how he wants to be a "ductor" - he means a Conductor lol! Its my fault - I made him and ds2 watch the Proms which covered all the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals!

HI Shelley im no expert on it but apparently it help soften the cervix ready for the birth. I wanted to check with my midwife before i started taking it. xx
