I don't have to worry about pineapple and other 'hot' food stuff on the other hand, though. Baby # 3? *gasp* You wouldn't wish that on me, would you? What have I ever done to you, you minx?! </em> okay they dont give us this raw egg rule in india and so far i’ve had two kids who’ve turned out okay. any problems should be blamed on the mother’s nuttiness not on raw eggs.

Hope your doctors and midwives get sorted out- it sounds quite mind-boggling. How did P enjoy gay Paree and Disney? <em> Yep he did, thanks for asking! Bit of a bore for me tho, as I couldn't go on any of the interesting rides :( </em> I’m sure you’ll be alright. Hope your doctors and midwives get sorted out- it sounds quite mind-boggling.

I'm sorry :( but coleslaw should be ok unless consumed by the gallonful. something about the acids in the cabbage and cooking. dont they have a midwife at your hospital? I'm sorry if thats a stupid question - it's just the childbirth is all greek to me and I didnt get any of that. <em> You know what it is Ams - too much / too little science. I read something re listeria and uncooked eggs and decided to panic a bit. Why the heck couldn't a body come on the fone and just say 'yeah no worries mate?' The midwife at hosp cannot help me cos of area issues - or so am told. My mind boggles. sigh so what is new eh? </em> ugh, what a welcome, huh?

I moved homes during my 7th month and moved boroughs so was kept shuttled between the two borough GPs.. GP in my new area did not have a midwife attached to the clinic and since the doctor could not be asked, he said I should go to old area GP. Old area GP said i should go to new area, you get the picture.. Finally i went to the doctor for my regular checkups, but i think having access to a mid-wife is much much better - they are more friendly, predict when the baby will be born and such fun things.. whereas the doctor was curt to say the least... Sorry for the long comment. <em> No worries- and welcome to my blog. This GP fuss is like part of the territory where healthcare in UK is concerned, I suppose. I went through something like what you did the first time around, thanks to moving houses. I had foolishly assumed I would be in a better position this time. </em> I had a similar experience when i was pregnant here in London.
