Don't underestimate the beating up that chewherlegoff will have with a cesarean, it's a pretty tough op to get over. If I had my time again I'd have taken considerably more time off after the birth of The Boy.

Also, remember that chewherlegoff will be incapable of looking after the chewettes for the first few days as she will be immobile. If you experience what we did, there will be no nursing care whatsoever offered to the baby beyond passing to Mrs Generali.

I had to change nappies and fresh sheets, required as a result of the total neglect of The Boy, were handed over grudgingly. The nurses were much happier for him to continue to lie in his own p1ss than trouble themselves to pass me fresh sheets so I could change the bed.

My mother hated giving birth in this country. But it was a long time ago. She wanted out of the hospital immediately and my father wouldn't spring her. ( Caesarian, against medical advice......). He set what he thought was an impossible task to be met as a goal, and when he visited next evening she had succeeded.

I was there with sibling and I thought it was a bloody fiasco ( not necessarily of the hospitals making) there should be rules on not taking in a circus with you maybe.

Interestingly I have a few acquaintances who complain about the standards but rather do it here than other countries they might equally choose family support wise and they say the experience and standards are better in comparison but its free here.

I have no idea what I would have chosen. Elective Caesarian and all pain killers going on a date you can plan sounds optimal :rotfl:.

It is always interesting to experience your job being done from the other end as you say. I find it very amusing when companies try to sell me financial products and assume I'm the sort of run-of-the-mill idiot that they normally sell to that will buy whatever they dangle under my nose.

We moved to this house almost 2 years ago.
At first we were not happy at having to have a new phone number (had had the old one for 24 years and were moving within the same area).
However, it's from a new batch of numbers and so we never get unsolicited calls. It's brilliant!
I refuse to give out my mobile number so don't get any junk calls on that.
Fingers crossed, long may it continue!

The babies are not playing ball and refusing to turn head down so we are now booked in for a caesarian on Wednesday...OH is delighted to have an end date!

There was a programme on TV earlier in the week following a few women who were having babies - one asked her mum if they had caesarians back when her mum was pregnant with her...

Was this the same one where the lady ate her placenta? I didn't see the whole program but that was a diverse group of women!

Absolutely! Hope it all goes smoothly for all four of you.

Agree with what the others say about babies coming of their own accord - both mine were overdue to the point where I was booked in for an induction, but both came naturally in the gap between booking the induction and the date set for it.

DS's parents' meeting at school tonight. Have finalised his options, as follows:

Has to do English lang, Eng lit, maths, double science
Options history, philosophy & ethics, computing, drama, food tech

The history teacher was happy to have him and thought he should be able to do quite well. The RS teacher was confident he would be a good student for phil & eth. The food tech teacher seemed pleased he'd picked it (although I couldn't tell if she was pleased to get him in particular, or just generally pleased to get a student picking it). Both the computing and drama teachers made it v clear they think he has talent so they really want him and would be sad if he hadn't picked them. Oh, and the Spanish teacher confirmed that all the stuff about "everybody ought to do a foreign language" doesn't apply to him - she said it would be 2 years of being miserable, when he could instead be doing a different subject he could do well at!

Over the last 22 years I have done loads of Y9 parents' evenings from the teacher's side of the desk, advising students and parents about their options. I like them - they are easier than parents' meetings for other year groups because the focus is on their choices, which is a positive thing and less likely to be "sticky" than when the focus is on the student's progress more generally or the upcoming exam. It was really interesting to experience it from the other end.

Glad it's done. We had the evening before half term and have to submit today.

DS went for Business Studies, Geography and Art.

Heir Hunters is interesting this morning. The researcher recognised the name/address and looked through the records to discover he'd visited her 10 years before when she was a beneficiary of her sister's death without a will. She'd even expressed surprise that her sister hadn't left a will - yet went on to do the same herself.
