Melinda - yes the midwife at antenatal class recommended this to us. Fortunately, I've never been one to linger in the smallest room ... I usually don't go in there unless I'm getting definite signals and if nothing happens after a very short time, I'm out of there. I've never had to actually use any muscles to go which sounds a bit strange and is probably way too much information than most of you would ever have wanted to know so I'll just shut up now.

Sherie - mmmm ... frozen fingers. Sounds soothing. =)

Oh yeah, Angel ... love the dried apricots. I'm glad someone else is as freaked out by the prospect of piles as I am.
