Lua, that's what I was thinking of, toxoplasmosis. Also cat flu. "They" reckon that most people who have cats are human carriers already, so i'm working on the assumption that the baby will probably get all the immunity they need from me. I have this romantic idea that it would be so nice to have a cat round a toddler as they will have to learn about patience (if they want a cat cuddle) and respecting animals/wildlife, which is really important to me. Or am I kidding myself and in reality the animal spends the next 10 years hid under the sofa .
Charley, I am so with you on pgy trousers. They all lie about their size and swamp me. When I'm not pgt, I buy a lot of my jeans from topshop petite. As they are designed for 14 year olds, the size 10 fits me really well (i'm usually size 8 trousers). Dont know if you've ever given them a whirl.
Uwila, you certainly haven't offended me with your c/cection opinions. I'm just glad that its not always me on the soapbox (I do have a prepensity, but I try and curb it). As a first timer, I'm trying not to think about it at all. Probably naive of me, but i know it hurts, I know i'll hate every s*dding second of it, but hopefully, by whatever means, i'll have a lovely baby at the end of it. I've got mates who are glued to Discovery Health through their pgys, but i dont want to see some naked scouser (apologies to anyone from L'pool) or some Portland wife heaving a baby out. How will seeing someone's horror story benefit me?
