Yay, viewers all gone!!
Have to confess to having hoovered and washed the kitchen floor, which was so sticky (DS sprayed apple juice everywhere through a straw when my back was turned) I thought people might become imprisoned on it and have to leave their shoes behind.
Am now officially going to rest... well, apart from working on the sports in Madagascar thing from time to time.
Boffin, it's a very nice thing for your husband to offer to undergo, and your untimely demise and his subsequent shacking up with a younger woman clearly didn't cross his mind. Which is kind of nice, too, somehow.
I do agree that it seems a bit radical, but then many birth control methods muck about with nature in drastic ways, and the snip may be a less worse option than years of the pill, for instance. Maybe you could discuss the matter again once you are over all this pregnancy pain and trauma and things have settled down a bit? I do agree it's a joint decision and you both need to be sure.
Bleu, I sympathise entirely because - as you can maybe tell - I'm not very good at not doing things and just resting, but I'd go with the other posters who are telling you to take it easy. You need to save as much energy as possible for the birth and those twilight weeks afterwards. If you have a DH who's willing and able to share the load, take maximum advantage of that. If nothing else, it sets a good precedent for when the baby's here...! But avoiding any more damage to your back is vital.
