    Maybe to make sure your little boy knows the gender before your 28 week pregnant sister does, nudge nudge ;);)

    Is this in relation to my thread? If so I am confused

    We don't get on that well ? News to me I used to take you to school day granted you are difficult to get on with at times :rotfl: and you know he is only off short term with illness.

    i said my family which you know is true, and hes walking her to school atm so will not be able to take him for me. Or are you offering to let me drop him off at yours at 7.30 and you take him to school for me?

    I'd post the link to where you said it, if you hadn't deleted every single post you have made on this thread already. Including the charming one, in response to another poster telling you about their experience, about not caring whether there were distraught ladies in the throes of a miscarriage waiting for a scan, who'd rather not have to do so with a 6 year old playing round their feet, which was where any vestige of sympathy I had for you disappeared.

    I did not say i didnt care at all, after all i have been there and have had people there with kids, i think you will find i said unfortuantely they do not have a choice about other people taking thier kids which they dont just as i didnt, it does not mean i do not care. Also i have more respect than to let me child play around their feet.

    Oh and as ive said this hospital does not deal with stuff like that, if you are miscarrying or suspected miscarryin your are sent to the main hospital which if you bothered to read my posts in the first place you would have seen.

    My hospital doesn't allow it either.

    When I went for my anomoly scan, another couple turned up with another child in tow because they had had no-one to look after her. They were told they would either have to reschedule or husband would have to stay in the waiting room with the child.
    However the midwife did say something that was so true. She said that in her 20 years of delivering babies, she had yet to come across a woman who arrived to give birth accompanied by her other children. Even when their waters broke suddenly at stupid a.m, they always managed to have childcare pre-arranged, so why couldn't it be done for the 20 week scan. It's not as if this scan comes as a surprise.

    Just a thought :).

    Lol Janepig. I did a year of criminal law when I first qualified as a solicitor, and was "taken aback" when I went in to hospital to have my gallbladder removed to be wheeled down to theatre in a robe with my bum hanging out, by the client I had seen as a duty solicitor in the cells the night before, who greeted me very friendily and offered to visit when I came round...

    We have a lot of friends in criminal law and we quite often have to make a complete about turn when we go out with them if they see a client in the establishment.

    On one occasion we went to a very upmarket ladies function and everyone was dressed to the nines. On our table was a really glamorous lady....two of my friends kept staring at her, and then they realised who she was and why she looked familiar. Apparently, she had been their client in a high profile case (they didn't disclose what(!) and then she was frumpy, unmade up, and without two very prominent assets!! They said the transformation was incredible.

    Just to add, you don't always have to have symptoms to have a miscarriage. With my first I went for a scan thinking everything was fine to find my baby had died 4 weeks earlier.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
