That is a good point Fiona.......it took me ages to "admit" to my OB and his midwife that the reason I always ask for my appts to be on a Friday is because that is when Olivia and Charlie are in child-care. I finally "admitted" to them (because the midwife was asking where Charlie was, LOL!) and of course they didn't "judge" me at all (which I had subconsiously been aftaid of!) & the midwife congratulated me on being aware enough to take time out for myself and my NEW baby, who whilst she is not out yet, still needs some attention!

(After my appt I ususally make time to go home and listen to a birthing relaxation CD which I just don't get time or opportunity to do with Olivia and Charlie racketting around, LOL!)
