Hello girls, sorry I don't get on very often these days. Have been a bit unwell, can't remember if I said or not but I was diagnosed with anaemia about a month ago, so I've been on the iron pills and I am feeling a bit better, although still tired - but better than the awful head fuzziness, not being able to remember a thing, including in work, which I went through. It was almost worse than the first few months of baby because at least you know why you are tired then, but when you're getting six or seven hours sleep and still wake up feeling more tired than you went to bed.... not good!
The reason I'm anaemic is (TMI alert!) because my periods have got really long and heavy - the one before last was nearly two and a half weeks. I really suspect the endometriosis is coming back big time, and I've got a scan in July to see if they can see cysts on my ovaries, cos I have twinges in my sides a bit like last time. Bit depressing. Who knows, I may be wrong. However, I increasingly think that DS will be my only one and that that it was a miracle I ever got him.
On a brighter note, one of my two best friends just had a little girl last week. That's the fourth girl born to friends of mine in the past two months, and another one is due in two months - it's the reverse of last year because then just about everyone had boys it seemed like. (obviously not Diva, Kiwi, TheBlonde, Eids etc...)
Is anyone watching the Johnny Cash stuff on BBC4 at the moment? He's playing a song called Ring Of Fire - the anthem for women in labour everywhere!
DP wants me to tell you his joke - if they put swearboxes in maternity wards, they could solve the funding crisis in the NHS.
