Hello Ladies,

My computer has had a virus, so I haven't been able to get on here. Finally, I'm back. Have been reading the last few pages of the old thread and now can't remember who said what.

Aimee - congrat's on another pink bundle. That's awful that your family can say such hurtful things about your beautiful baby - hopefully it's just dumb comments that don't say anything about how much they will love her.

And Possums - Yay for a boy. I have to agree with um, was it grub? Boys are awesome - from my vast experience of one baby. I don't think I would even know what to do with a little girl. Congratulations.

Grub - nice work on the GD test!

On the food and food poisoning thing - I am also pretty over-cautious. I just think it took too long to get here to risk it. Not that people who didn't do ivf can afford to take the risk, but I am just so aware of how those tiny risks can become a reality. You know, a small percent of women have fertility problems (I'm one of them), a small percent are unexplained (me!), a small percent of pregnancies end in mc (me again) so if even just a small chance is there of getting listeria from eating something, then I bet it'll be me who gets it. Chocolate doesn't have listeria though, so I woof it down.

Kelly - jeez - a possible VB when you hadn't even though about it before! It's probably better than stressing about it for months like most women though. Breath ALL the way in and ALL the way out - might sound simple now, but it's not. Can't wait to hear your lovely, smooth, calm birth story. Good luck

Sorry - I am rambling so much! Just found out that I actually do have private hospital cover and so could really have a private OB if I want. Do you reckon it's too late? Or even worth it? I don't know. I hate decisions.

Thanks for the advice on placentas (was it you Possums??). I have read that it takes longer to feel them moving, so am just waiting calmly (sure). I went to the doc today, for something totally benign and pointless just so she might put the heart beat thingy on me, but she didn't. I was too embarassed to ask. God I'm a d**kh**d.

Anyway, still rambling. seeyas xo
