Hello all. I hope you are well. BOC - how bloody irritating! That is truly exasperating. I'd never even thought of that... I suppose there is one benefit to having a baby later than all my friends!

Long q for your all. My DH is here on a project setting up a aus division for a UK company. Our time is sadly I think coming to an end - which I'm sad about even though I knew it would always happen - and the initial date was July, which so is not happening! Maybe September or something. Anyway, it looks like the next place we'll be sent to is India, which is both scary and exciting. However, I have very firmly said that it's not a place I would consider moving to unless I'd seen it, as travellers seem to either love it or hate it, and it's quite a big gamble. So I need to go for a week, and my conditions are business class flights and a five star hotel that doesn't serve up food poisioning, and a number of an english speaking (and western trained if I'm honest, sorry if this sounds imperialistic or worse) doctor/ hospital on speed dial. I would not go in the first trimester, cannot go in the third, so have plumped for end of month 5 when I figured this "exhilaration" all the books talk about would keep me ok.

My flight to Perth demonstrated that loose trousers are essential. I had the worst trapped wind (sorry, tmi) and wondered if anyone knew can you take those windeze (or similar brand) tablets? Also, any other advice, bearing in mind that I need to go, and will be as careful as possible? It won't be too hot then, and I'll have a driver with aircon, so I won't be going on any metros or anything. My stomach is well adapted to curry so no problems there (......hopefully). Any advice from those who have done international travel at this stage would be gratefully recieved. Thanks.

and have a lovely sunday. Scan tomorrow, but then worse, back to work.
