Hello everyone. I have just found out i am expecting my 3rd baby. HUGE shock! I have a son who is nearly 9 and a daughter who is nearly 4. I am 27, married and work full time as a midwife! Although unplanned we are both relly happy about the pregnancy, personally though, I am feeling a bit anxious too. I look forward to 'meeting' you all x

LOL you'll fit right in here Rachael

Actually you might want to get a name without a number, it's a mumsnet crime - for reasons unestablished! How about

RachaelShouldHaveKnownBetter

or

RachaelisShocked

or

RachaelTheNumberlessWonder

ob viously some clever mumsnetters will come up with much wittier things...

I'm the same! That's so funny. I didn't even realise I was pregnant with dd1 till I was nearly 10 weeks. I just thought I was getting too old to handle my hangovers.

Can you imagine it, the Bella headline....'Midwife shocker - I thought I had wind but I was in labour'

My GP asked me my LMP with dd2 and I just looked at him blankly. I told him March, maybe April.

RachaelFaintsUnexpectedlyWhatCouldBeWrong? (a la soaps)

Rachael'sPeriodsHaveStoppedHasSheReachedTheMenopauseOrCouldItBeSomethingElse

To be honest the only reason i did pg test was because i couldn't finish the bottle of red i had opened! Not good i know! Am pleased now though. Relieved to know i am not alone in my misdemeanors!
