Thanks girls, thats really great to see so many friendly people. Dr Girl thats really reassuring to know that you never came across any negative behaviour while your sons were born. I was thinking a bit more about it and I know that everyone would treat me lovely...well most of them lol...I have been a RN for years and now doing my endorsement to be a midwife...i think most people like me and those who are a little closed minded cant help but like me cos they knew me before they knew i was gay lol. I agree that if your a staff member they do treat you differently. Just have to see when the time comes I suppose.
I actually have just started in birthsuite tonight after 3 mths working in the maternity ward. I have seen plenty of straight forward deliveries but this was a vacuum and forceps delivery. Its amazing how the birth can be going along so lovely with the woman pushing really well then the baby becomes distressed and then the labour room turns into a bloody theatre with 10 thousand people in there and then once the baby was born she was whisked off to theatre for vaginal repair. I know i've gone off the subject here but I just needed to vent, I really felt for this woman. There was a lot more to it but its just not fair how your ideal birth doesn't always work out and the whole thing becomes so medicalised.
Anyway....
I'm trying to track down this book. I saw a review on the maybe baby website about it and it sounds really good. How is your ttc going drgirl? I hope all is going well and you get BFP very soon!
Thanks Leanne. Our TTC journey is a bit rocky.We had an early niscarriage in nov 2007 and no BFP since then. I am on my third cycle of clomid and this month am adding pregnyl in the luteal phase. We saw FS for first time this week and between my short LP, low progesterone and some issues with our donor's sperm he has recommended IVF/ICSI so we a re now looking into that pathway!
Re. the books I will look up the titles, just haven't had a chance yet.
I am looking forward to receiving the book i ordered 'ultimate guide to pregnancy for lesbians'. i ordered it from bookaholics and apparently is in the post so thats good. I might get more of an idea on things. Thanks for referring me Alisia and drgirl!
Hi to you both ... Well, if it's of any help I fell pregnant at 39+ & had my 1st baby at 40 with the help of the herbal formula from the Ruth Sharkey's Healing Centre in Qld
... I know I fell pregnant for sure on either one of two days when I was ovulating when my reading on the digital thermometer first thing in the morning came up 36.2celcius
Maybe keep a chart with your 1st morn reading, & get to know your ovulation pattern there too !!
I wish you all the very best & let us know how all is going
Sending you a million speckles of baby dusts your way
sorry for the late reply smiles but thanks, that gives me a guide to follow a little. I haven't actually used a temp chart yet, just OPK. This has been quite acurate but maybe if I do the temp chart too it will give me more of an idea. Thanks again,
Wishing you all the best of luck and i can vouch that the formula from the Ruth Sharkey's Healing Centre really works, we had be trying for i guess upto 5-6 yrs without any contraception and i was only on the formula for 3 weeks and i got pregnant...this stuff is magic and you can do it all via mail and internet order which is great, there on the Gold Coast!
