Gawd, not going online for a day makes me feel really behind... Twiglett!! what drama. Glad you are ok. A friend of mine who had c section in Jan started labour before they could reach her with the knife and it really didn't seem to be a problem, surprisingly. (And she had eaten a bowl of Porridge.) But anyway that's not so relevant now is it?
Had a day of big activity yesterday, walking with friends between pretty seaside towns in the sun. It was lovely, but too much, as we had a party to attend in the evening. I came over all palpitations & nosebleeds while getting dolled up, and dh and I spent an hour and a half in our party clothes on sitting room floor waiting for it to pass. It was not said out loud but both of us were aware that it felt rather like rehearsal for labour, with dh trying to get me to relax and me rocking on birth ball. Weird experience. Anyway we had to make an appearance at the party after that because everyone we know would have thought the baby was on its way if we hadn't. Which is also an excuse for saying I just did want to go. and it was a lovely evening... But a useful lesson in the art of not overdoing things. It was one of those parties where people of all ages whirled around on the dance floor, with children being spun round by the armpits, and babies blinking in their prams... very good advert for parenthood, and goodwill was heaped on my bump till it felt quite proud.
don't worry we didn't stay late...
