Well! When DP got home from work last night I told him about this thread ... he went very quiet and after dinner we had an argument about it and other things. He feels that because he does soooo much for me (which he does, you would NOT believe it, he really does do the vast majority of indoor and outdoor house work, food shopping and lately all the cooking and washing up, and is an awesome handyman and has done so much to prepare for bub's arrival) - that he was showing how devoted he was which meant he didn't need to read the birth book/s. Blokes aye? He also told me about some of his gripes and concerns so it was very interesting.

Anyway it was a great chance for us to have a vent and a cry and a cuddle about being on the precipice (sp?) of a new life together as a family.

We ended up cuddled up in bed soon after, reading Birth Skills together
Naaww - Your DH sounds like mine. He does so much around the house because I can't, deals with my toddler, makes sure he provides enough that I don't have to work unless I want to - but I slam him for not reading a book!

It's so nice that you guys worked through some stuff and he has FINALLY started reading the book.

I've had a day of pre-labour yesterday and it's started again today - so I might just suggest a nice cuddle in bed with the book - great idea!!!

COMPLETELY off the topic - I noticed that you are also a PCOS lady? How did you find your pregnancy? I stayed on Metformin throughout both my pregnancies and both times never got GD - in fact, the 4 losses we had was getting pregnant while NOT taking it!

Good luck sweetie - you and are aren't too far off our dates xxx
