    Ah terror has a way of sharpening your attention so when I have been in the presence of such people I pay SUCH special attention I learnt it, so I know what to expect and who to avoid...

    Is anyone else still ridiculously hormonal?!

    I am sitting here weeping after my sister just sent me a text...she is a medical student (only just - will be the real thing in a couple of months!) and texted saying she had a really hard day. She was talking to an old lady in hospital who said she would rather sleep on someone's floor than be in hospital, she was so unhappy she wanted to die, felt like a burden and my sister was the first person to talk to her or pay any attention to her or explain anything to her since being in hospital. Something about that has just broken my heart, thinking of all the scared lonely old people who are being completely abandoned and let down by the system. And it makes me selfishly scared because my husband is 15 years older than me so there is a very good chance he will 'go' first and I will be an old lady alone. So all of those thoughts have me just sitting here bubbling away!

    Stupid hormones...

    I stopped in the middle of cooking just now to ask DH to give me a hug as I felt very sad and tearful for no reason. It went off eventually. Weird.

    Oh no! That would probably set me off even if I had no kids in the show :rotfl: it seems like everything is triggering tears at the moment! Glad it is not just me though...

    I bawled my eyes of the last episode of one born, and it convinced me something would be wrong with my phantom baby :) it also suddenly hit me that I'm going to spend the rest of my life terrified of something happening to 'little sausage' what ever age they are at, especially with that wall falling on the little girl. Guess the parenting thing is finally kicking in

    You'd think but I made a concerted effort in 2010 to get treated for it and culminated in donating blood. I have managed to do it less times than the fingers on one hand but this was mildly complicated by a trip to a maleria ridden country in between 2010 and now. Ridiculously pleased with myself even though it's such a small amount of times. Still pale and sweaty every time and people always ask if I'm ok! Another reason why have an encyclopaedic knowledge of things needle related. At one point had a hideous set of photos of needles - on their own, in people etc that I had to look at to get used to!

    Yes I had the realisation on the last thread talking to someone who is already a mother that this is it - I will also worry for and about them.

    Too scared to watch OBEM :eek: Should I (wo)man up and do it?

    The only time DH and I DTD it felt like my insides were being rubbed by sand paper so I'll happily take a break for a while.

    Today I noticed a couple of women's eye's darting to my belly. Maybe I'm being paranoid.

    We're still waiting for the blood test results. They were supposed to be back today. I need to phone back on Monday.

    I hope everyone else is well.

    Re the worrying about your child forever...that realisation has hit me recently too! And the other day, hubby came in to find me weeping at the TV. Very strange as I had been watching a comedy. Why? In the comedy, the oldest kid was leaving for college. So I was crying because one day our little bean, who is not even born yet, will grow up and leave us! :rotfl:
