Hi Girls - thanks for all your lovely comments about my news from the OB, was a massive shock!

Hi Suz - thanks mate, yes, does justify the c-section! He said I would have to be very unlucky for it to happen again as it was rare to have happened in the first place, but because it DID happen it puts me in a high risk category for my next labour so would be watched like a hawk. He said if everything was going ok he would allow me to try for VBAC if I wanted but his professional opinion would be to do a c-section just in case. I mean, at the end of the day, I think I'd be worried and the fact that he said it was so serious and that she really could have died and even the pathologist couldn't believe it as he'd never seen a baby survive it before has got me thinking maybe I shouldn't risk it. But I will wait and see how I go when I'm in that situation again. Pretty full on information to take in. As for the mini pill, my OB gave it to me too but I've decided not to bother, because I half BF half FF I'm not sure it will work properly and I sometimes miss a BF if I haven't got enough so I think that lowers the coverage of the mini pill, it's only safe if you take it at exactly the same time etc - too risky for me. I'll wait and see how long I can BF for.....besides, we are really thinking of trying again when Amelia is 12 months so I think we can grin and bear the condoms until then.....of course I could change my mind before then and go back on the pill!!!! Oh and talking of periods, I got mine today...is that because I'm not breastfeeding properly as in exclusively????? How does that work?

Hi Carmey - my DH has put on weight too, how funny!!!! At least we have an excuse! My OB gave me the red light to start the ab exercises so I'm on a mission to tone up the flabby guts and thunder thighs!

Hi BS - yay for Eva sleeping in her cot again, Amelia managed 6.5 hours in hers last night and 1 hour in it this morning - was out the rest of the day!

Hi Sesame - your fitness class sounds fantastic, I should look into that given the swimming one is a bit off and on - you can't get in every week which sux!

Well everyone I went to look for another pram today, I really like the Steelcraft Strider Plus as it takes a toddler seat, I prefer thee Steelcraft Strider 4 but it doesn't take a toddler seat - I prefer it as it's a little smaller and over $200 cheaper......just don't know what I'd do if I have another bub in 18 months/2 years without a toddler seat. Any suggestions, should I get one that you can or does it not really matter? DH likes the 3 wheeler Phil & Teds that has a toddler seat at the back but it's only forward facing, you can't have it facing you as well and I want that right now.

Gosh how hard is it!
