Hi All
ML - lovely pic, what a relief to have a positive scan! Still feel a bit about the original MW who caused so much worry, sometimes they can give you too much info imo.
I have a week's holiday this week - lovely! DH was away last night so I went to stay with my mum, was back in my old room with DS1 in the room that my dsis used to sleep in - mum got all emotional about how time moves on etc etc! It was so lovely to go back home and get my dinner cooked and go to bed without having to do washing, ironing, cleaning, packed lunches, etc etc - may go and stay there forever, or at least until I feel better!
Sorry to all those still getting ms - mine seems to be easing a bit in that I get it later in the day now, but still have to eat small but regular meals every 1.5 - 2 hours to stave off the nausea.
DH has been on a beer festival yesterday with his mates from uni - he has come home stinking of old beer and curry (he says he had garlic tikka). It is all I have been able to smell all day. Usually doesn't bother me, but with my super smell-sense, the stench just makes me retch! He has had to stay at least 5 metres away from me all day to prevent vom-disaster! Garlic tikka and all curry is now off the menu until such time as I am ready to actually give birth, and then we can have curry every day!!
Lolaann - we used to have cottage hospitals up here which sound similar to the NZ set up. My mum remembers giving birth to my dsis in the main hospital, and then being transferred for a week to the cottage hospital where you got all meals etc, could sit and chat with other mums, get support with feeding (although that was mainly learning about sterilising bottles as it was the early 1980s) and all in an atmosphere that was much more like a friendly hotel than a hospital. Sounds great to me - I wish we still had them....but it has now all been converted to an out-of-town shopping centre .
