*Twinkle*

after a bit of feedback here from mums who have had sections AND normal births.
i had 2 very quick, uncomplicated, drug free births (1st was 90 mins, 2nd was 17 mins, start to finish) my 3rd i had a section due to going 2 weeks over then realising baby was breech. i'm on number 4 now and have the option for a section or Vbac and i dont know what i'm gonna do.
the section last time was ok, yes i was uncomfortable for a week or so, but no more than i was having a 9lb 10 baby by normal birth,

i also have gone all the way overdue with my last two babies and as i tend to have little chunks i end up deperately uncomfortable in the latter stages of pregnancy.
a section would be easier as i know exactly when baby will arrive, i wouldnt go over, other kids would be at school so no worrying about getting them to relatives if my waters went in the middle of the night ect, and i want steralizing too, but i'd probably be up an out of hospital 6 hours after a normal birth, all being well.
i really am in two minds what to do. i have been offered a section as there will be only 13 months between this baby and my last (who was born by section) and drs said as i have large babies it could affect my scar if i did want to pop him out
any thoughts?

Hey, I have just had a phone call to say I have won some breast aids ?! anyone heard of them before? http://www.enviro-pod.co.uk/?p=breast.aid.and.nipple.pods

Twinkle can't advise either way but from your post it sounds like you are leading towards a c-section anyway.

Fluffnutter, they look lovely. I remember doing something similar when I was younger with my best friend and we would have had Claire Danes

Is anyone doing anything for their DH/OH for fatherday?

Not sure whether to do anything.

Considering doing something.

Last year I got him a card from the bump and this year I have a plain card which I will probably write something in. He is a father just his children aren't with him. (yet )

No. It's not his thing. And he didn't for me lol. He thinks its a load of poppycock and too commercial.

From the other side of things, if the worst were to happen it would be another memory to keep, which when it is all you have you appreciate.

*sorry to bring things down*

I've got a Father-to-be card with our 12 week scan picture on, from funky pidgeon. It's this one. I'm using it as an anniversary card though, as it's our 6th wedding anniversary on Sunday
He didn't do anything for me on Mother's day (I don't think it even occurred to him )

I just got an email from work asking if it's just the fact I can't drive stopping me coming to work or the fact I've been signed off. I feel all a tiss now.

I'm going to the doctors tomorrow to get a sick note anyway (like the GP suggested). Not really sure how I feel, I feel like I'm being accused of being a fraud a bit. I'm sure I'm just being paranoid though.
