SPD caused by cake eating (according to my father...)

[RedZuleika]

My father rang me today, to see how I was - as my due date looms into view at the end of the week. I was grumping about the state of my pelvis: pain, unable to sleep properly, more pain, difficulty walking, lots more pain (you get the picture).

He asked me how much weight I'd put on. Why?? I pointed out that this had nothing to do with the pelvic problems. "It might do", he says.

I've put on two stone. He wants to know how much of that is likely to be baby. About 8lbs, I suggested. "Oh Christ", he says.

So - I really have my work cut out for me to save them the embarrassment of having a daughter who might have put on some weight whilst pregnant.

(Not sure I shouldn't have posted this in the relationship section... sniff...)

Hi,
Just on women in fields - I work in Kenya and want to point out that a lot of these children die, mothers get incontinence for the rest of their lives, fathers run off to get second wives. Women lucky enough to have access to prenatal care take exactly the same precautions we do!

Aloha: just to clarify... is my father's head supposed to be between these bricks when I bang them together??
