Prama - Glad it was OK. I don't see how a few days could make that much of a difference, But I got sent home when I went to get Jaz's 4 year one. It was two days before her 4th birthday. Her birthday was on a Sunday, so I had to go back Monday.
I know how you feel about the needles going in. Its horrible. The place I got DD1 done at they let me hold her so I was there the whole time. With DD2 the ECHN laid her down coz she found they were more relaxed, but I hated it. Excellent ECHN, but that was hard.
I've always given my kids a 1/2 dose of panadol about 20 minutes before. I found it helped.
Hope you have fun on your trip.

Danni - I'm the same with the drool.

Has anyone elses bub choked on their drool? Jesse started dribbling at like 3 or 4 weeks - Way earlier than either of the girls. I asked the doc about it at his 6 week check, she felt the roof of his mouth etc, but couldn't see any reason for it.
He drools that much he chokes. He had about a week when he was getting a cold when it was really bad, & really scary. He was actually choking for about 10 minutes, but getting a breath & screaming in between. I thought it was phlem, but when I took him to the doc there was no phlem on his chest at all. It still happens too. Not that bad, but it still has me worried. Not sure if I should go back to the doc or ignore it.
